ArticlePublisher: Paris : IIAP, avril/juin 1980Revue Française D'Administration Publique 14, p. 74-107Abstract: On the basis of the shortly described administrative structure and working of structure and working of Liverpool University, the author delineates the main features of the administrative structure of British universities. It appears that they rely to a large extent on convention rather than on written rules, particularly as regards the distribution of power; the teaching staff constitute the core of central university administration; decision-making seems to result from mutual concessions and gradual adjustment rather than from overall planning; finally, the university system guarantees the freedom of teaching and research; this may cause problems in times of financial straights
