Abstract | Introduction: knowledge, infrastructure, and the need for change -- A system to insure the future -- The organization of research universities -- Sources of discovery: networks on campus -- Community anchors: building resilience and connection -- Hubs linking communities: generating solutions for known and unknown problems -- Facing the future together. "Countering recent arguments that we should "unbundle" or "disrupt" higher education, Jason Owen-Smith argues that research universities are unique gems that deserve our financial and social support. While they are complex and costly, their enduring value is threefold: they simultaneously act as sources of new knowledge, anchors for regional and national economies, and hubs that connect disparate parts of society. Based on his stellar research, he offers a fresh and stirring defense of an endangered class of institutions just in time" --Provided by publisher. |
