Dutch universities are striving towards excellence while theiradministrators dream of top-ranking on international listings. Dutchscholars and scientists, on the other hand, foresee that the growingbureaucracy, commercialization and excessive workloads are leadingto an abyss. Are we to believe that today’s universities in Holland arecomparable to a cookie factory? Are students like shipping containersthat should be processed as quickly as possible, as university presidentshave declared? In this book Rudolf Dekker links the incidentalproblems about cheating academics and incompetent administrators, assignaled in the press, with more fundamental processes that have takenplace over the last fi fty years, including changes in the way universitiesare structured, managed and fi nanced, the infl uence of neo-liberal ideas,the effects of digitization, and the development of a new administrativeelite in the Netherlands.

Now available for the first time in paperback, Farm House tells the story of the first structure built on the Iowa State University campus. Mary Atherly provides a comprehensive history of the Farm House from its founding days to its role as the center of activity for the new college to its second life as a welcoming museum visited by thousands each year. Construction on the little red brick house on the prairie began in 1860, two years after the state legislature passed a measure providing for the establishment of the State Agricultural College and Model Farm.
