Tóm tắt
This chapter explores the reasons why the University of California at Santa Cruz (UCSC) campus was founded as a collegiate university under the leadership of Clark Kerr, then president of the entire university. What were the reasons for Kerr to push for the creation of a collegiate model? What form did this take? Why did it essentially disappear in such a short period of time? Does the rapid change in the academic character of Santa Cruz mean that the experiment was a failure? Or can it be evaluated in ways that are more sympathetic both of the attempt to construct a collegiate model and the analysis of its performance? Within the context of exploring these questions, the chapter examines a number of issues: what is meant by the idea of the collegiate university, the use of Oxbridge as the ideal-type model of collegiality, the new universities founded in Britain in 1960 as possibly a more appropriate comparative reference point for the foundation of UCSC, and whether the research-led university can incorporate a commitment to the provision of high quality undergraduate education. The chapter, therefore, places the Santa Cruz experiment within a broad context that envelops many aspects of the Anglo-American tradition of higher education. © 2012, Springer Science+Business Media B.V.
