What Is University For? Part 1

Recent decades have seen enormous changes in university education. From grants to top-up fees, ivory towers to knowledge transfers, and with an ever-growing number of students, the role of Higher Education in our society is a subject of constant debate. Sir John Arbuthnott, former principal of the University of Strathclyde and Salters Sterling, former Academic Secretary of Trinity College Dublin, discuss the influence of government policy and corporate sponsorship on academic freedom and ask: what is the role of university education in modern society? Facilitated by Revd John Armes, Rector at St Johns Church.
