This article explores some of the literature on the political economy of higher education. It suggests growing contradictions between the need for available funds and competition for students, research dollars, and new educational “products,” such as online education. It refers to that literature that raises contradictions between the global “market” for students and tuition fees. And it also raises issues of the quality of education, particularly as non-job-oriented programs are dismantled. Purdue University, a land-grant public university, is suggested as one example of these contradictions.

新自由主义全球化时代的高等教育危机

本文探讨了有关高等教育政治经济学的一些文献。它表明对可用资金的需求与对学生的竞争，研究经费和新的教育“产品”（例如在线教育）之间的矛盾日益加剧。它指的是在全球学生市场与学费之间产生矛盾的文献。而且，这也引起了教育质量的问题，特别是在取消了非以工作为导向的课程的情况下。建议将普渡大学（Purdue University）授予土地的公立大学作为这些矛盾的一个例子。
