The Need for a "Shadow" University
Stivers, Richard
Bulletin of Science, Technology and Society, v26 n3 p217-227 2006
The modern university has become a subsystem within the technological system. As such, the university has lost its autonomy. Every aspect of the university--administration, pedagogy, research--has become specialized and technical. Success, power, and efficiency are its only values. An alternative to the modern university is briefly explored. (Contains 1 note.)
