Is University Research on the Decline?

Ferne, Georges

European Journal of Education, v15 n4 p333-41 1980

Decline in research emphasis in universities is tied to a number of factors: defensive apathy in the university scientific community; weakening links between teaching and research; declining enrollments; problems in interdisciplinary work; employment stability and aging faculty, obsolete equipment, support staff reduction, and growing bureaucracy.
