What is the role of University in cyberspace?
Why is this question worth asking?
Because it's the kind of a question that leads to other questions. Like our university looks in the mirror of the future and can see what it wants to see, be what it wants to be.
University and the Net are mutually foundational. The future of each depends upon the other. They are connected, like a function:
f(u)=n F(N)=U
Universityâs role in the Net can be to develop, propagate and perpetuate into the future its capacity for generating knowledge. We are a knowledge-making machine with human parts. University embodies our fundamental norms of quality, curiosity, generation and preservation of knowledge. We are students. We are scholars. We are alumni who have come to see the core idea. We are University. By expressing ourself in the Net, University becomes the Net, University is the Net. We are students expressing truth. We are Internet & Society.
