Dr Michael Crow: The slow evolution of universities

Universities are creatures capable of evolution and contain some of the world's brightest minds. So why are they so slow to evolve, asks Arizona State University President Dr Michael Crow. An excerpt from the "Next Wave: Lessons from designing the new American University" , a talk by Dr Michael Crow, President of Arizona State University, at the PLuS Alliance Symposium at UNSW in July 2016. The PLuS Alliance (Phoenix | London | Sydney) is an international collaboration between Arizona State University, King's College London, and UNSW Australia, to provide, create, enable and deploy innovative research and education linkages across three globally-focused universities. The PLuS Alliance works towards a sustainable future by collaborating in the areas of sustainability, global health, technology and innovation, and social justice. www.plusalliance.org
