I am not sure if it is necessary to save the University. I am not sure if it is worthwhile, or if it would be better to develop a new structure that supports the development of human knowledge at a higher level. Nor am I sure that a plausible alternative structure exists. Of course, in several institutions spotting the globe, there are thousands of faculty trying to adapt to these new times and incorporate change into their work. However, there are also thousands of professors that are unaware of important changes in the University. There are even academics who are aware of major shifts in their environment, and yet consciously choose to act as if everything is "business as usual" . In every case, this incorporation has its way through the generalised use of the new tool for accessing knowledge: The computer.
