It finds that different funding approaches/models may be appropriate based on the contextual realities and current circumstances of a country. Thus, incremental approaches might reflect government interests, but may not serve the public good. Enrollment based approaches (per capita and per credit) have advantages and remain viable options for adoption for nations seeking to expand access to higher education. Performance funding options may be appropriate when a robust system of higher education exists, and government seeks performance outcomes as a tool in promoting special projects or government priorities. However, those nations considering performance-based models may need a fair warning. The performance-based approach has yet to be proven to be the panacea it was purported to be, at least in the US and UK.Publication The Small University with Big International Reach(2014-09-11) Ruby, AlanValparaiso University’s message of knowledge, understanding, and faith means that it attracts a global student base, says Alan Ruby.Publication A Buyers' Guide to Branch Campuses?(2014-01-01) Ruby, Alan; Jaramillo, AdrianaPublication Parallel Reforms: Nazarbayev Intellectual Schools and Nazarbayev University(2017-01-01) Ruby, Alan; Hartley, Matthew
