“Rasmussen structures her narrative by ‘pausing’ at decade-long intervals (the first in 1975) to reflect on the foregoing decade under four headings: campus, students and staff, governance, and engagement. This structure allows a self-contained consideration of each period within its various contexts (political, pedagogical, technological). It also decentres the role of vice-chancellors. As Rasmussen notes, universities are much more than their leaders, even if, over this period, their influence became more pronounced.”
