Zusammenfassung, Abstract
The key activities within higher education -- teaching and learning, research, and possible others, for example, service -- are undertaken within every higher education system in diverse institutional ``settings'' -- also called ``shapes,'' ``configurations,'' or ``structures.'' And these settings of a higher education system vary substantially between countries. We note a perennial debate since about the 1960s about the extent, the major modes, the causes, the major trends -- increasing diversification -- as well as the ``benefits'' or ``problems'' of the various diverse institutional settings.
