Özet
This chapter utilises Arjo Klamer’s value-based approach (2016, 2017) in order to explore the harmful impact of the increased pervasiveness of both market and governance logics within the higher education sector. Specifically, it argues that there is a need for a value-based academic redesign, both in the Global North and the Global South, where policymakers and university administrators (private and public) would prioritise academic values over economic and political benefits. Ultimately, the chapter concludes that scientific values are degraded when for-profit companies (e.g., recruitment agencies, publication houses, accommodation services, etc.) and governments come to play larger roles within the higher education sector.
