Abstract

This chapter explores how four decades of neoliberalist policies have transformed a historically erudite and collegial culture within Australian universities into a mass-delivery mechanism for education and research outputs. It examines the pervasiveness of New Public Management accounting and auditing in academic performance measurement. We find that academic performance in Australian universities has become increasingly characterized by a managerial audit culture.
