ABSTRACT
In his engaging book on the future of higher education, Bert van der Zwaan argues his preference for a multiform and flexible system of higher education that can adapt to every future societal and academic challenge:
In their vision of the future, universities should focus on having a diversity of forms, rather than striving for a uniformity that is grafted onto the Anglo-Saxon model. (…) In the diverse university system of the future, there must be room for each university to develop its own individual profile, leading to the emergence of a multiform and flexible system that is able to adapt to almost every change. (Van der Zwaan 2017: 243).
