The Future of Universities

Economist Larry Summers, former President of Harvard lays out his view of a university and Philip Dodd debates with the OU's Josie Fraser, classicist Justin Stover and NESTA's Geoff Mulgan. How is globalisation and new technology changing the university campus and are traditional courses in humanities subjects like English literature and the classics under threat?
