Universities ought to be aware of the degree they would want to accept funding from governments like China to work on, say, face recognition technology.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If China can't even given LinkedIn enough breathing room to operate in China, that would be a very unfortunate signal for a government to send its professionals about its priorities.
I would hope we would begin a series of projects that would do more to bring the different parts of the university together in the study of Asia, for example, in the study of the professions in Asia.
Universities are basically socialist institutions.
It's very important that there should be cross-fertilisation between government and academia. Both parties can benefit from having a better understanding of how the other works.
Everyone has a right to a university degree in America, even if it's in Hamburger Technology.
It is possible to get an education at a university. It has been done; not often.
I believe that access to a university education should be based on the ability to learn, not what people can afford. I think there is no more nauseating a sight than politicians pulling up the ladder of opportunity behind them.
Ever since economists revealed how much universities contribute to economic growth, politicians have paid close attention to higher education.
This is a universal human dream - that brains, not brawn, will rule - and the fact that America has the world's finest institutions of higher education may be our greatest single national asset.
It will be readily admitted, that a degree conferred by an university, ought to be a pledge to the public that he who holds it possesses a certain quantity of knowledge.
