He will discuss problems facing research universities, including state disinvestment, quality of programs, increasing divergence of science and humanities, tensions between interdisciplinary and disciplinary development, and the effectiveness of new technologies as a complement or substitute for face-to-face instruction. The other panelists will be former Columbia University Provost Jonathan Cole and Arizona State University President Michael Crow.
