      abstract = {A revolution swept through universities three decades ago,  transforming them from elite institutions into a mass  system of higher education. Teaching was aligned with  occupational outcomes, research was directed to practical  results. Campuses grew and universities became more  entrepreneurial. Students had to juggle their study  requirements with paid work, and were required to pay back  part of the cost of their degrees. The federal government  directed this transformation through the creation of a  Unified National System. How did this happen? What were the  gains and the losses? No End of a Lesson explores this  radical reconstruction and assesses its consequences.},
