Abstract

Financial constraints, or the threat of them created by declining enrolments, are rapidly compelling universities, like schools, to look at the relevance of their educational practices in modern society. Dr. Evans takes a careful and discriminating look at the details of demographic changes to come, at some disconcerting declines in part-time enrolments, and at the need for universities to adapt, with a thorough change of style in university studies, to the character of the demand for non-credit education being made by a large element of the population not at present served by the conventional academic programs.
