How is the public mission of universities to change in the face of
today's global challenges? How is the 21st Century university to
balance its long-standing traditions and its commitment to
teaching, research and commercialization with rapidly changing
social needs and conditions worldwide? And how does the newly
defined public role of the university reflect on changes to
non-profit organizations in general? Amalya Oliver-Lumerman and
Gili S. Drori offer a new model of academic commitment and
leadership in response to questions about the new public role of
the university. Combining historical and sociological analysis with
examples and proposals for academic commitment and leadership, the
book reconsiders the social impact of universities and, by
extension, public organizations. It offers detailed examples for
Academic Leadership and Responsibility (ACL) programs and related
projects, contributing to higher education policy-making and
discussions around university governance. In exploring the changing
public mission of universities, the book also highlights models of
social responsibility and leadership that are appropriate for
universities, and discusses the translation of CSR to a non-profit
public organization. This will be an invigorating read for higher
education and organization studies scholars, as it engages with
current debates about the future of university models and public
sector organisational forms.
