A second problems inherent in establishing a global university involes the risk that certain intellectual and research avenues would become officially sanctioned while others of equal or greater potential value would be discouraged ,or perhaps even proscribed .A telling example of the inherent danger of setting and enforcing official research priorities involves the Soviet government s attempts during the 1920s to not only control the direction and the goals of its scientists research but also to distort the outcome of that research -ostensibly for the greatest good of the greatest number of people.Not surprisely,during this time period no significant scientific advances accurred under the auspices of the Soviet government.The Soviet lesson provides an important caveat to administrators of a global university; Significant progress in solving pressing social problems requires an open mind to all sound ideas,approaches,and theories-krespecitve of the ideologies of their propoents.
A final problems with a global university is that the world s preeminent intellectual talent might be drawn to the sorts of problems to which the university is charged with solving,while parochial social problem go unsolved.While this is not reason enough not to establish a global university,it nevertheless is a concern that university administrators and participant nations must be aware of in allocating resources and intellectual talent.
To sum up,given the increasingly global nature or the world s social problems,and the escalating costs of addressing these problems, a global university makes good sense.And , since all nations would have a common interest in seeing this endeavor succeed,my intuition is that participating nations would be able to overcome whatever procedual and political obstacles that might stand in the way of success .As long as each nation is careful not to neglect its own unique social problems,and as long as the university s administartors are careful to remain open-mind about the legitimacy and potential value of various avenues of intellectual inquury and research ,a global university might go along way toward solving many of the world s pressing social problems.
