Abstract
ABSTRACTFrom all quarters, the attack on the university is deepening; its very legitimacy is regularly questioned. This reflection argues that while there are reasons to join such critical voices, some of which have effectively pointed to the ways in which higher education has been reduced to a pawn in a broader neoliberal advance, there are important critical tensions within the university that must be considered. By describing significant challenges in four dimensions – access, learning, teaching, and evaluating – this article argues that the new neoliberal realm remains contested terrain and that recognizing and working with the tensions provides opportunities for change and glimmers of hope for more participatory and democratic institutions of higher education.
