• W2575808130 abstract "Research & Occasional Paper Series: CSHE.11.16 UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY http://cshe.berkeley.edu/ THE EVOLUTION OF FLAGSHIP UNIVERSITIES: From the Traditional to the New December 2016 * John Aubrey Douglass UC Berkeley Copyright 2016 John Aubrey Douglass, all rights reserved. ABSTRACT In the face of the dominant World Class University rhetoric and ranking paradigm, most academic leaders and their academic communities have had difficulty conceptualizing and articulating their grander purpose and multiple engagements with society. Some seem to wait for the next ministerial edict to help or push them toward greater societal relevancy – often limited to improved global rankings. This essay discusses the evolving idea of the Flagship University, its past and future, and the need to develop and articulate a more holistic and modern narrative regarding the role of these important institutions. The New Flagship University is an institution grounded in its historical purpose, but remarkably different in its devotion to access and equity, to the quality of its teaching, research and public services mission, and to meeting national and regional socioeconomic needs. This paper discusses some of the central themes in the book, The New Flagship University, and includes observations in recent articles by scholars and researchers on their relevancy in various parts of the world. Leading national or Flagship Universities are now more important for socioeconomic mobility, for knowledge production, for generating economic and civic leaders, and for pushing innovation and societal self-reflection than in any other time in their history. Keywords: New Flagship Universities, Teaching, Research, Public Service, World Class Universities, Global Rankings. The concept of the public Flagship University as a leading national or regional public university has its origins in the emergence of America’s network of public universities in the mid-1800s. It included a devotion to the English tradition of the residential college as well as the emerging Humboldtian model of independent research and graduate studies, in which academic research would, in turn, inform and shape teaching and build a stronger academic community. But just as important, the hybrid American public university model sought utilitarian relevance. Teaching and research would purposefully advance socioeconomic mobility and economic development. As part of an emerging national investment in education, public universities also had a role in nurturing and guiding the development of other educational institutions. For these and other reasons, America’s leading state universities were to be more practical, more engaged in society than their counterparts in Europe and elsewhere, evolving and expanding their activities in reaction to societal needs. By the 1870s, most states had established one or more public universities—the first step in developing the world’s first mass higher education system. In their mission to educate and train virtuous citizens and economic and political leaders, they also played a key role in supporting America’s experimental democracy. For only an educated citizenry, it was believed, could properly carry out the civic responsibilities of a participatory form of government. In his effort to establish the University of Virginia, Thomas Jefferson noted the importance of higher education in a young nation with no monarchy or apparent class structure and governing elite. Universities could generate an “aristocracy of talent”; they could be the primary means of promoting science and learning useful to a land of yeomen farmers and merchants.

He is the author most recently of The New Flagship University: Changing the Paradigm from Global Ranking to National Relevancy (Palgrave Macmillan 2016).
