Sefan Collini (2012). What are universities for?

The main products of a university are education and research. There are few alternatives to this. The business opportunities of the generated knowledge constitute a precious “by-product�. It is a mistake to design a production plant to maximize the performance of secondary products. Ignoring this will make some of the big universities business of mediocre research contracts.
