A good university is invariably assumed to be one which is successful in terms of entrepreneurism, self-promotion and competitive innovation. Here, however, Jon Nixon explains how academic workers must also assume responsibility for the moral purposefulness of their institutions.

Recenzje

"Jon Nixon's Toward the Virtuous University is indispensable reading for anyone concerned about the future of higher education. The philosophical underpinnings that shape Nixon's arguments are a refreshing articulation of how important and connected universities, academic practice, and our evolving society are." -- Bryan Gopaul, Academic Matters, January 8, 2009
