• W2339337250 abstract "The United States has for long had the world’s premier system of higher education. No other country has anything that comes close to our major research universities (whether they be private or public), and that includes our international competitors, Germany and Japan. Our society expects a lot of our universities, and much more than other countries expect of theirs. For example, we were the only country in the world that turned to our universities (and especially to our land grants) to deliver an important part of our foreign policy in the form of economic and technical assistance to the developing countries. Our universities were also given the responsibility of catching up with the Soviet Union afler sputnik, And our society has long expected our land grant universities to educate the masses, to be agents of economic change, and to serve as the main vehicle for our economic development programs. In fulfilling these general tasks it has also provided a common base of intellectual skills that are required of the citizens of a free democratic society. Yet today our system of higher education is faced with challenges such as it has not faced within the memory of most of us (Schuh, 1992a). Our internal stresses are great, as are the pressures as we seek to find our way in a society that is undergoing phenomenal domestic change, and which seeks to find itself in a world undergoing a massive reconfiguration of economic and political power. The collapse of the Soviet empire and the liberation of the countries of Eastern Europe grab the headlines. However, the emergence of the Newly Industrialized Countries challenge our ability to compete in international markets, and the developing countries, which we tend to ignore yet which account for the bulk of the world’s population, are beginning to experience economic growth similar to that experienced by the industrialized countries of the West. That means that within many of our lifetimes, billions of people will be empowered with economic growth as we have experienced it in the industrialized West. In the post-cold war era, nations will increasingly compete in the economic and intellectual realms. Although the need for a strong military will not disappear over night, if ever, our ability to defend our standard of living and to have influence in the international community will depend increasingly on our ability to have a strong knowledge base on the rest of the world. It will also depend importantly on our ability to compete internationally. This in turn will depend on the investments we make in science and technology, in the production of new knowledge, and in our knowledge of other cultures and societies. That is a rather long way of saying that the health of our system of higher education is critical to the future standard of living of our citizens, and to our ability to defend our interests in an increasingly competitive international economy. That means we need to understand the problems we face in higher education, and to undertake the needed reforms of that system if we are to sustain our position in the world." @default.
