Politics and the University: Rethinking Higher Education in India.

Altbach, Philip G.

Change, v19 n4 p56-59 Jul-Aug 1987

A scandal relating to examination-fixing in the University of Bombay led to the resignation of its vice chancellor, followed by the chief minister of the state of Maharashtra. The intersection of politics and education, and the use of educational institutions for political or patronage purposes was at the heart of the problem. (MLW)
