DIVERSITY AND INTEGRITY IN THE SUCCESSFUL UNIVERSITY

Abstract

"The biggest problem, we have to conclude, lies in defining success. Success is not quantitative but qualitative. For example, a successful faculty is not one that publishes a lot, but one that contributes assertively to the advancement of knowledge; not one that teaches a lot, but one that teaches well. Nor should a university be judged on reputation and popularity: the pursuit of university ratings may have made some universities better, but it has made too many the same. The measures that we use continue to f a l l well short of the ideal" - ..
