Instead of following the Magna Charta Universitatum, the
declaration of the principles of knowledge signed in 1988 in
Bologna, the academic approach pursued in Europe and the other
continents over the past 30 years has strictly employed a
utilitarian model of higher education. This jeopardizes academic
freedom, shared governance and tenure, the three pillars of the
long-established model of universities. Scientific conformism and
fragmentation, educational bias and authoritarianism are the major
drawbacks, together with a poor readiness to meet the emerging
challenges in the labor market and technology. In this book, Renzo
Rosso presents a new model for countering these developments, e.g.
by establishing novel democratic rules for university governance.
The Slow University paradigm positions culture and education as
essential tools for the long-term survival of humankind.
