The paper aims to illustrate the key elements of transformation of higher education since the Second World War from the point of view of the mode-2 science (M. Gibbons). The mass character of higher education leads to diminishing of natural monopoly of the university in providing educational services and in being the only organizational structure for the development and transition of knowledge. Within the neoliberal concept of science this may be interpreted as the redistribution of public goods (like higher education) in the corresponding field of public sphere.
