520			_aThe American university is at risk because of the very fact that it is so culturally important and because it is so consonant with American cultural values. As cultural values become more contentious in the public arena, the university becomes more tempting as a trophy and as a weapon in the culture wars. Ironically, the university can best protect itself using the camouflage provided by its historical accumulation of multiple functions, by accepting the ambiguity of the cultural role it plays, and by simultaneously emphasizing the way it faithfully reflects American culture and the way its special mystique sets it apart as a different kind of institution in American life. - Reproduced
