Universities in the marketplace

I'm busy applying for jobs.

An article on the university in The New York Review of Books by Andrew Delbanco entitled the 'Endangered University.'

Dam, I've just noticed that the article is locked. I'll have to find a hard copy of it. I was particularly interested in Derek Bok's 'Universities in the Marketplace: The Commercialization of Higher Education' for its insight into universities now seeking opportunities to turn specialized knowledge into profit in a knowledge-based economy; and James O. Freedman's 'Liberal Education and the Public Interest' for the connection between universities, democracy and eduction for citizenry.
