The purposes of this study were to describe the changes in funding higher education, to analyze and identify the factors that contribute to the decline of government support for higher education, and to investigate how the institutions of higher education responded and managed in the time of fiscal stress, especially public institutions. This case study focused on environmental changes, including the economic, political, and social factors that resulted in the decline of higher education funding and the institutional responses to those changes in Taiwan's public institutions of higher education. In particular, the dependence on government funding, the politicization of governance, and the accountability of public higher education to the public were examined.

520 $a The purposes of this study were to describe the changes in funding higher education, to analyze and identify the factors that contribute to the decline of government support for higher education, and to investigate how the institutions of higher education responded and managed in the time of fiscal stress, especially public institutions. This case study focused on environmental changes, including the economic, political, and social factors that resulted in the decline of higher education funding and the institutional responses to those changes in Taiwan's public institutions of higher education. In particular, the dependence on government funding, the politicization of governance, and the accountability of public higher education to the public were examined.
520 $a Through a review of related documents, a questionnaire survey, and interviews, the factors as well as the public institutions' responses to fiscal stress were identified and analyzed. The analysis framework was based on Charles Levine's model of managing fiscal stress as well as the literature related to higher education finance addressing those purposes.
520 $a The results showed that the decline in funding for higher education in Taiwan can be identified and explained by situational factors (external), including the economic and political environment which higher education has little or no control over, and an organizational atrophy factor (internal) that was derived from the inefficiency of its institutional operations. The study also showed that most public institutions in Taiwan have used a myriad of strategies to deal with fiscal stress. The institutional responses ranged from smoothing tactics, such as across the board cut backs, deferred building maintenance and equipment purchases, and reorganized academic and administrative units, to resisting tactics, which included increased fund raising activities, collaboration with business and industry, and tightening of the monitoring of expenditures.
520 $a The limitations and implications of this study as well as recommendations for further research have also been provided.
