From Karen MacGregor and Munyaradzi Makoni, in University World News
Universities must be “citadels not silos”, defending communities around them rather than being inward-looking, if they are to actively advance global development goals, the Association of Commonwealth Universities conference heard in Cape Town last week.
Vice-chancellors were urged to support individuals in universities who wanted to work on the Millennium Development Goals – the theme of the association’s conference of executive heads held from 25-27 April – for instance by providing concrete assurances that this would not wreck their academic careers.
A conflicting picture of universities and the MDGs emerged from the conference.
