How can we reenvision the university Too many examples of what passes for educational innovation todayMOOCs especiallyfocus on transactions on questions of delivery In Alternative Universities David J Staley argues that modern universities suffer from a poverty of imagination about how to reinvent themselves Anyone seeking innovation in higher education today should concentrate instead he says on the kind of transformational experience universities enact In this exercise in speculative design Staley proposes ten models of innovation in higher education that expand our ideas of the structure and scope of the university suggesting possibilities for what its future might look likeWhat if the university were designed around a curriculum of seven broad cognitive skills or as a series of global gap year experiences What if as a condition of matriculation students had to major in three disparate subjects What if the university placed the pursuit of play well above the acquisition and production of knowledge By asking bold What if questions Staley assumes that the university is always in a state of becoming and that there is not one idea of the university to which all institutions must aspireThis book specifically addresses those engaged in university strategyuniversity presidents faculty policy experts legislators foundations and entrepreneursthose involved in what Simon Marginson calls university making Pairing a critique tempered to our current moment with an explanation of how change and disruption might contribute to a new golden age for higher education Alternative Universities is an audacious and essential read. 1.
