End the University as We Know It

Check out this Op-Ed, entitled 'End the University as We Know It' from the New York Times yesterday.

For many years, I have told students, “Do not do what I do; rather, take whatever I have to offer and do with it what I could never imagine doing and then come back and tell me about it.” My hope is that colleges and universities will be shaken out of their complacency and will open academia to a future we cannot conceive.
