The Corporatization and Globalization Committee of United University Professions (UUP) began its work in 2000 with a conference on the changing structure of the university and its implications for the future of higher education. It completed the first phase of its work with a Summary Report and a collection of essays, Transforming Higher Education: Democracy, Economy and the University to be published next year. In its second phase, the committee seeks to encourage scholarship and public debate bout the changing conditions of the university and higher education. This website is part of that project.
