The Role of the University

Foran: Universities aren't simply there to provide the work force for the future. There's a research function for the university, and there's a role in generating knowledge for future generations. And i think that's that particular sort of ideal has been eroded quite severely in the last few yo years and decades within society more broadly. Foran: We're here to teach them, but we're here also to generate and do research. Some of those elements of university are quite hard to understand.
