The concluding section of this chapter proposes a refinement of steering from a distance – an approach I will call ‘performance-based steering’. While retaining the ‘light touch’ character of governmental involvement, performance-based steering supplements market forces with persuasion and discretionary rewards and punishments designed to nudge universities in directions judged to be in the public interest. It presumes that universities want to further the public interest but that competing forces, including the pressures associated with growing marketplace competition, may cloud or confound their thinking.

Property rights represent a serious barrier to growth by substitution. Market forces can make it harder for universities to fund initiatives with new money, but they do not necessarily solve the property rights problem. To solve that problem, institutional leaders must provide due process and deal compassionately with faculty whose programmes are downsized or eliminated. Most important, they must convince their constituents to put mission first. Failure to do so prevents the university from adapting to new conditions.
