Book Description
The authors of this book point to the need for a strong cooperative relationship between research and education to halt declines and to regain some of the earlier vitality of both. Representatives of the scientific, educational, and government sectors look at the problems and prospects facingU.S. research and university education, presenting the perspectives of their own institutional biases and turning also to the experiences of Canada and Western Europe. The concerns,proposals, and requirements they express deal with areas of conflict and suggest possible solutions. Though their views sometimes diverge, the authors seek to define some basic principles that can guide the development of productive new policies.

Book Description
This study examines the changing notions of excellence and utility and their influence on the purposes and culture of higher education. A conceptual framework is developed that harmonizes the conflicting forces that drive the research effort. Eight sections include: introduction (the legacy of expansion, research under pressure, trends in funding research, and concerns about current directions in policy); excellence and utility: a first encounter (changing notions of excellence and utility and philosophical justifications of higher education); excellence and utility in historical perspective (the medieval university, the modern university, and development of the role of service); the role of research in higher education (general characteristics of university research, the notion of research: its scope and orientation, research and its nexus with teaching); excellence and utility in harmony and conflict (the relationship between excellence and utility, the question of standards, excellence in what, and narrowing of excellence and utility); excellence and utility in funding research (conflict in the process of funding research, funding research: national priorities or peer review, and evaluating research); pressures on the teaching role (the teaching-research nexus and doctoral education); and summary and conclusions (notions of excellence and utility, problems of the narrow notions of excellence and utility, the way forward, and summary of recommendations). The 14 recommendations cover: a broad view of research, broadened panel membership, reward structure, collegiality, and a pool of researchers. Contains approximately 160 references. (SM)
