What is an “urban university” • Institutions that view their location as an asset rather than a liability. • Institutions in which the definition of faculty scholarship is expansive enough to include basic and applied research. • Universities that utilize the community as its classrooms and libraries, and in which the student profile reflects the demographics of the area and the academic programs reflect in significant measure the needs of the community and the region served. • “…is one that acknowledges, respects and validates the culture and experiences of the learner. • …institutions must become more learner-centered. This does not mean abandoning the content that students must master; rather it requires paying greater attention to the student’s learning style and actively involving the student in the teaching and learning process. • http://www.umich.edu/~urecord/9495/Oct31_94/13.htm Chancellor Nelms remarks University of Michigan - Flint
