community.” 18 Democracy, he emphasized, has
to be built on face-to-face interactions in which
human beings work together cooperatively to
solve the ongoing problems of life. In effect, we

Democracy must begin at home, and its
home is the truly engaged neighborly university
and its local community partners. ■

Although definitions vary, the concept of the entrepreneurial university
grew out of the commodification and commercialization that higher
education encourages, and the increased impact of the marketplace and
the profitmaking motive on university operations and goals. See Sheila
Slaughter and Larry L. Leslie, Politics, Policies, and the Entrepreneurial
University, Baltimore, MD: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1997;

Pathways of Transformation, Oxford: Pergamon Press, 1998. For a more
recent discussion that highlights the lack of definitional agreement in
Europe, where the concept has gained particular currency, see
