“…Kellerman puts the issue nicely (Kellermann 2011) "Whereas the business world counts its output by surpluses and deficits in statistics of money, the university system sees its results in scientific findings, publications and reputation." He compares the "university as a business" with the "university of the mind", and reflects on the tendency of contemporary society to turn as many things as possible into commodities and concludes: "There is no doubt: In a money society the university also needs money like every citizen.…”

Managerialism creates burdens for academics with no evidence for its benefit. Business imperatives override educational. There is needless competition between universities. Research imperatives override education. Global inequalities in educational need are ignored, universities have not kept up with the way young people gain information and initiatives to reduce the environmental impact of higher education are ‘tinkering’ rather than the required total re-thinking of higher education.

X‐ray luminosity functions of different morphological and X‐ray type AGN populations

Luminosity functions are one of the most important observational clues when studying galaxy evolution over cosmic time. In this paper we present the X-ray luminosity functions for X-ray detected AGN in the SXDS and GWS fields. The limiting fluxes of our samples are 9.0 × 10 −15 and 4.8 × 10 −16 erg cm −2 s −1 in the 0.5 -7.0 keV band in the two fields, respectively. We carried out analysis in three X-ray bands and in two redshift intervals up to z ≤ 1.4. Moreover, we derive the luminosity functions for different optical morphologies and X-ray types. We confirm strong luminosity evolution in all three bands, finding the most luminous objects at higher redshift. However, no signs of density evolution are found in any tested X-ray band. We obtain similar results for compact and early-type objects. Finally, we observe the 'Steffen effect', where X-ray type-1 sources are more numerous at higher luminosities in comparison with type-2 sources.
