Higher Education Collaboratives for Community Engagement ...
¡°We cannot lay claim to greater
public investment - to which we
must lay claim if we are to serve
our function in a knowledgeintensive society that also
subscribes to democratic valuesunless we are seen to serve the
public good¡±.
National Forum
on Higher Education for the Public Good
¡°Serving society is only one of
higher education¡¯s functions,
but it is surely among the most
important. At a time when the
nation has its full share of
difficulties...the question is not
whether universities need to
concern themselves with society¡¯s problems but whether
they are discharging this responsibility as well as they should.¡±
