1. University ideas and their low flow -- pt. 2. Releasing the flow of university ideas.

Sommario/riassunto

The huge reservoir of ideas at America's and the world's great universities and colleges constitutes a vital national resource. But tragically, this resource is largely dammed up on campus; academia shares its ideas with the public only to a very limited extent. Everyone loses. This book shows how this tragic situation developed, and how to open the academic sluice gates for everyone's benefit.
