These changes are implicit with higher education and the system itself. A higher education university has many purposes; from the many, it can be narrowed to four key strands, these strands are very complex and there have been many interpretations about what the institution is designed to achieve. Thus, the impact it may have on a university in terms of league tables, research, teaching and learning, to name a few.
