Stripping off the academic robes The British Academics
A review of the book The British Academics by AH Halsey and Maria Trow, published by Faber and Faber. The study, begun in 1965 with a $1827 grant from the US Office of Education, surveys British academics on race, education, and wage trends, noting limited expansion, a shift toward research in top universities, and varying teaching versus research priorities. It compares British patterns with American and Australian contexts and suggests universities must adapt to diverse faculty needs while highlighting implications for Australian universities.
