The Role of Land Grant Universities: Responsible Innovation
نویسنده
چکیده
public research universities. Unlike those others, however, the land grant universities also have responsibilities assigned to them by congressional legislation. Beginning with the Morrill Act, signed by President Abraham Lincoln in 1862, federally enacted legislation has specified several roles and responsibilities for land grant universities. When asking what these universities should be doing with regard to the developing biobased economy, it is important to review current societal expectations as well as the evolution of their responsibilities under federal law. It is necessary also to consider how they receive financial support for carrying out their responsibilities, and how well they have met expectations in the past. Finally, it is important to examine the nature of the present challenge, that of assuming a role in fostering the biobased economy, and ways in which these universities might meet this challenge in the future.
