Description
Summary:Universities are entities obligated to conduct research and nurture a culture of teaching and educating in their association with the governments, businesses and other broader groups. The main mission of a university is to spawn research and create graduate students. To accomplish this objective, universities should be supplied with the requisite infrastructure and intellectual settings. Universities which desire to be termed as research-oriented are expected to take part in global scientific and other academic networks as well as co-operate with institutions the world over. Although the universities have several funding sources, the majority are limited to funding from governments, particularly for public universities. The pressure of maintaining university reputation and ranking from one side, and the cutting of the budget from the other side will provide a challenging phenomenon for university chancellors and higher-education ministry. This pressure may lead universities to ignore some of their principal aims and responsibilities toward society as a research-oriented and education-focused institute.
