This study examines the new funding framework for Thai higher education under the autonomous university system. The study also explores the effects of this new funding framework on university faculty, especially with respect to institutional income generation. The research is employed a mixed method approach involving quantitative archival data and qualitative interviews. Six Thai university faculty from three different universities were interviewed using open-ended interviews. The archival data such as legislations, reports, and recommendation documents were collected and analyzed. The research findings reveal that the new framework of higher education funding is comprised of four major elements: performance-based funding mechanism, resource mobilization for higher education, institutional external income generation, and shifting greater funding to demand side (students and parents) through income contingency loans. The research findings also disclose that the new funding framework for higher education has effects on academic work time and effort of university faculty: they must to teach more students while at the same time they are compelled to focus much more on research and publications. In interviews, university faculty emphasize a discrepancy: research performance of faculty is enhanced whereas the quality of students is viewed to decline. The study raises four issues: equity assurance; cultural change of public0́9s giving to education; the pressure of resource allocation over available time for teaching, and leadership issues. Recommendations are made for further development of Thai higher education funding: developing regulations to assure financial aid or loan for needy students; creating a culture of giving to education; utilizing graduate assistance; and developing leadership program. In conclusion, the study provides suggestions for future research.

This book offers a critical examination of contemporary higher education reforms in Thailand situated in the broader historical, socio-economic and political changes. Through a qualitative case study with three methods of inquiry, this book explores why different 'global education policies' such quasi-privatisation, internationalization, as quality assessment (QA) have resonated in Thailand higher education sector. Grounded in policy borrowing and lending, this book uses the politics, economics and culture of borrowing to analyse major reforms in Thailand for the past one hundred years. It is argued that historical legacy, policy contexts and belief systems of policy elites play pivotal roles in facilitating policy changes or the lack thereof. While historical analysis elucidates that the Thai state has always been an active borrower of western ideas, the perseverance of the 'Thai-ness' discourse has often been used to suggest its so-called independence and idiosyncrasy. This in-depth analysis of the Thai case aims to contribute to the critical studies in Asian education, comparative higher education, policy borrowing and lending and Thai studies. The Culture of Borrowing intensively studies the policy appropriation in the Thai education system by analysing: • Selective Borrowing and the Historical Development of Thai Higher Education • The Asian Economic Crisis as Window of Opportunity: Autonomous University • Internationalization of Teaching: Quantitative and Qualitative Challenges • The Emergence of Quality Policies and their Rationales • The Intended and Unintended Consequences of Quality Policies This book will appeal to researchers in Education, particularly to scholars studying educational policies within the context of tertiary education. It will also interest scholars specialising in Asian and South-east Asian Studies.

This paper will firstly address the four underlying principles that govern the mission of Thai universities providing and promoting academic and professional education, promoting and conducting research and studies for generating new knowledge, providing public service and preserving and promoting arts, traditions and cultural heritage. This paper will then continue with the discussion of the emerging trends in Thai higher education. More commercialization, international cooperation and projects based on corporate social responsibility that can be seen in both private and government universities. Many new collaboration and many existing collaborations between higher education institutions and international agencies in the region are being formed and strengthened. Faculty and student exchange, the signing of MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) among Thai higher institutions and those outside the country, more international programs taught in English in many disciplines are prevalent in Thai universities. With the forthcoming education reform, the Ministry of Education expects that Thai higher institutions will play an active role both in the Asian region and in the world as an education hub, engage more in lifelong learning mandate and pay more attentions to their societal development and communities. This paper will end with a brief discussion of a case study of a private university, Shinawatra University, which has been established under the framework of global issues and new basic needs of universities in the globalized mindset. This university has taken seriously the issue of energy consumption as well as harmonizing natural surrounding and learning innovation as a basic philosophy throughout the design of its campus.

This book outlines the creative responses academics are using to subvert powerful market forces that restrict university work to a neoliberal, economic focus. The second volume in a diptych of critical academic work on the changing landscape of neoliberal universities, the editors and contributors examine how academics ‘prise open the cracks’ in neoliberal logic to find space for resistance, collegiality, democracy and hope. Adopting a distinctly postcolonial positioning, the volume interrogates the link between neoliberalism and the ongoing privileging of Euro-American theorising in universities. The contributors move from accounts of unmitigated managerialism and toxic workplaces, to the need to decolonise the academy to, finally, illustrating the various creative and counter-hegemonic practices academics use to resist, subvert and reinscribe dominant neoliberal discourses. This hopeful volume will appeal to students and scholars interested in the role of universities in advancing cultural democracy, as well as university staff, academics and students.
