The institution of the University has been going through a process of intense change and evolution in its mission and objectives in these first decades of the twenty-first century, and even during the final decades of the twentieth century. Six years ago, in Australia, the firm Ernst & Young published a report titled University of the Future: A Thousand Year Old Industry on the Cusp of Profound Change. The authors of this report identified three types of universities: 1) those maintaining the status quo, though updating their mission (“streamlined status quo”); 2) those filling a specific niche in the market (“niche dominators”); and 3) those which are transforming the university (“transformers”).
