- Summary:
- Examining a century of university history, Larry Cuban tackles the age-old question: What is more important, teaching or research? Using two departments (history and medicine) at Stanford University as a case study, the author shows how universities have organizationally and politically subordinated teaching to research for over one hundred years. This fascinating historical journey is a must read for all university administrators, faculty, researchers, and anyone concerned with educational reform.
