Abstract	The "raison d'etre" of higher education institutions is to educate individuals, undertake research, and disseminate knowledge into the public domain. Changing values and norms in HEIs, partly as a product of "managerialism", as well as increased competition for funding and other environmental factors, have moved autonomous institutions towards more business-like and private-sector ideals. These factors have different effects on the different "traditional" and "new" universities that operate within the higher education sector in the UK. This paper utilises the results of a UK survey of universities to determine the impact of these changes in universities. Results of a quantitative survey indicate that staff members in "traditional" universities feel strongly pressured to be research-recognised but that academic decisions are made by academics, whilst "new" universities viewed higher education as a business. Interestingly, both groups felt pressured to improve student numbers. (Contains 1 note, 7 tables and 1 figure.) (As Provided).
