Why is this work necessary? What is the problem we are trying to address?
Higher education has the potential to be a defining institution within societies but only if it understands the importance of its role as an independent, creative, and activist force.
This role is seriously threatened at present by two related factors: the inability of higher education as a system to effectively articulate and maintain support for its distinguishing and independent place in society, and the accelerating distortion of values and priorities within colleges and universities (and the system as a whole) that has come with increasing dependence on government and corporate influences.
