ABSTRACT
Efficient management of any of the forms of innovative higher education requires special teaching and administrative skills. Determining how best to use staff and student time is the really significant efficiency problem, a Swedish educator has said. The emphasis that most innovative higher education places on teaching leads to special difficulties. Administrators are considering tight budgets as well as better education when they look for ways to improve performance and to use faculty time more effectively. Government may have expectations and goals for higher education which differ from those of both students and employers. Government is concerned with access, manpower training, research, and cost effectiveness. President Merlin of Vincennes reported that a team of government experts sent to evaluate the university’s experience found the results so successful that they recommended applying Vincenne’s widened access to other universities.
