 Martin Carnoy - Inaugural lecture of the UOC 2004-2005
Administrative analysts at universities are much more likely than at lower levels of schooling to assess university performance, the effectiveness of faculty in terms of numbers of students taught, years to degree, and student satisfaction.
Yet, it is also important to note that despite characteristically greater ICT skills of university personnel and the greater degree of data analysis for administrative purposes, the core of higher education and particularly elite higher education remains solidly rooted in standard work arrangements (traditional teacher-student relationships, teaching methods, and professorial control of curriculum).
The main "successful" example in traditional universities and the Web is that of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which has put its entire curriculum on-line with free access to anyone wants to use it, much as the LINUX operating system was made available to all, free of charge.

 Program for Research On Private Higher Education
Challenging conventional wisdom, a study by researchers at the University of Chile and Chile's Central Bank shows there are no significant earning differences between graduates of traditional universities, such as the University of Chile, and those from the leading new private institutions.
It is not unusual, then, that the group of private universities whose graduates perform closer to their colleagues from older universities is composed of the private universities created earliest after the reforms of the early eighties.
In this regard, it is very telling that whether the university is private or public comes out in only fourth place in terms of its influence in earnings, after study program field, metropolitan or provincial location, and individual attributes of the graduate.
