Abstract
This article contains the author’s reflections about the book The Enterprising University. Reform, Excellence and Equity. A set of articles gathered and edited by Gareth Williams, a leading British researcher into problems with higher education, is incorporated into the body of a discussion on the future of universities, their shape, functions and models of activity. The first part of the book is an attempt to diagnose the situation with higher education in the United Kingdom and in the Commonwealth in the face of a parallel propagation of higher education and a gradual reduction in public spending on academic education. The second part is entirely devoted to changes in the organisation and management of the higher education institutions which lie at the centre of the processes of liberalisation of higher education. In his review the author pays special attention to the higher education institutions cooperating with the sector of enterprises, as well to threats to the development of the universities as a result of a process of their commercialisation, and to the necessity to redefine the role of scientist.
