Call Number: CE 704Format: 1/4 7 1/2 ipsProducers: Colin EdwardsCollection: Colin Edwards Free Speech Movement
Colin Edwards interviews the president of UC Berkeley Clark Kerr about his idea of multi-versity. Multi-versity basically describes the changing role of the university in society and Clark Kerr’s desire to further establish links to business and industry, expand the bureaucracy of the university and lessen its emphasize on abstract ideas and exploration and increase its role as a knowledge factory. Within the interview, Kerr discusses the role of professors, undergraduates vs. graduate students, the role of research, the role of universities in society, the role of truth and morality at the university, the autonomy of the university, educational reform on campus and the role of the president as the mediator in the multi-versity.
