In the last four decades Latin America has experienced one of the fastest growing higher education sectors in the world. 25 million students are currently enrolled in more than 3,800 universities. As a result, higher education in the region has had to respond to growing demands for access, pressures for quality and sustainable financing, institutional diversification and internationalization, while simultaneously facing technological disruptions and governance challenges that require new leadership and management approaches.In light of these developments, this book addresses various aspects of higher education policy in Mexico. It offers a comprehensive view of the challenges universities currently face, the organizational models that have emerged to respond to them, and policy solutions for strengthening them further. In doing so, the book offers a valuable contribution for the study and understanding of universities in the region and beyond. It is an indispensable tool for researchers in public policy and education policy, as well as policymakers and institutional administrators.
