- Title
The Universities' Commitment to Contemporary Problems.
- Authors
Hitch, Charles J.
- Abstract
The article comments on the social responsibility of universities and colleges in the United States, as well as the social obligations of a generation of alienated college students and activists and the need for cooperative action. Reactions to contemporary social issues that have resulted in divisions within the intellectual community include: alienation from a perception that intellectuals have failed to solve social problems; and activism by those who want to solve social problems by whatever method is necessary to achieve rapid results. The intellectual response at the University of California is to address urban social problems with a plan to increase community research and assistance and to equalize access to higher education.
