Because universities are more than just girls under trees – Mark Smithers | The Student Voice | Scoop.it

From my perspective the absolute starting point for developing any strategy is understanding what a university actually does (or at least, what it should do ideally). Now of course you could use the old joke and ask three academics what a university is for and you’ll get four opinions. Once you start to add the other interested parties; students, professional staff, teachers, sessional academics, politicians, industry partners you get many, many more opinions.
