Abstract
Since 1998, German university policy has more or less followed the New Steering Model, a specific variety of New Public Management. Evaluation, projectification and governance by numbers are some of the catchwords, flanked by instruments of indirect steering, such as performance-based management and management by contract. None of these instruments alone is detrimental to academic freedom, but constant pinpricks can cause inflammation. A research-friendly legal framework is therefore needed. Some hints in that direction are outlined in this contribution.
