      abstract = {Hong Kong's universities have been transformed by the move  from elite to mass higher education, from government  support to market driven finance, from academic management  to professional management, from local to cross border and  international outreach, from China's education bridge to  China's education window, and from a colonial model of  curricular specialization to a postcolonial model  emphasizing broader intellectual development and  service. As the landscape of Hong Kong higher education has  undergone change, so have the backgrounds, specializations,  expectations and work roles of academic staff. The academic  profession is ageing, increasingly insecure, more  accountable, more international, at the same time, more  Mainland-focused and less likely to be organized only along  disciplinary lines.The academic profession today is  expected to be more innovative in teaching, more productive  in research and more entrepreneurial in fundraising. New  approaches to governance have evolved and blurred the  boundaries between academic and managerial roles within the  university.},
