America's university president extraordinaire adds a new chapter
and preface to "The Uses of the University," probably the most
important book on the modern university ever written. This summa on
higher education brings the research university into the new
century.
The multiversity that Clark Kerr so presciently discovered now
finds itself in an age of apprehension with few certainties.
Leaders of institutions of higher learning can be either hedgehogs
or foxes in the new age. Kerr gives five general points of advice
on what kinds of attitudes universities should adopt. He then gives
a blueprint for action for foxes, suggesting that a few hedgehogs
need to be around to protect university autonomy and the public
weal.
