    Abstract
    OVERVIEW: The direction • Massification, marketisation, and managerialism • Globalisation and imperialism • Attacks on the academic profession The impact • Alienation, mission drift, alienation The neoliberal experiment at Unitec. 2013-2017 • The philosophy that informed Unitec’s transformation (i.e. restructure) can be summed up: Public vocational education should prioritize and focus wholly on the needs of business. • Education to be business focussed, not student focussed A TRIO OF PROBLEMS: Inherent structural problems Incompetent and ill planned implementation Failure to listen to advice or take account of evidence-based feedback What do we do as a scholarly community to stop a repeat of Unitec?
