The new test will be in place for all stu- dents—nationwide—who must take the SAT as part of the ad- missions process for the college class entering in the fall of 2006. Hopefully, this account will be useful to those trying to change policies and practices deeply entrenched in our society. Before I begin, let me introduce some terminology. By the term standardized test, I mean simply a test administered under controlled conditions and carefully monitored to prevent cheat- ing. I will also use the terms aptitude test and achievement test. Achievement tests are designed to measure mastery of a spe- cific subject. In contrast, aptitude tests are designed to predict an individual’s ability to profit from a particular type of training or instruction.

The article elucidates the UC's new statement on academic freedom, which honors the long history and tradition of the principles of academic freedom, but also breaks new ground in that it explicitly recognizes the means of maintaining those freedoms. The new policy affirms the principle that faculty conduct will be assessed in reference to academic values and professional norms, an inherently broad and flexible standard that is properly left to the determination of the faculty.","PeriodicalId":414986,"journal":{"name":"The Pursuit of Knowledge","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123723457","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

More than any other institution in our society, research universities are on the cut- ting edge in producing the well-educated people who drive our economy and the new research ideas that keep it growing. The tradition of research universities has been to value knowledge for its own sake. However, society’s increasing need for applications of knowledge has placed new demands on these institutions, including the University of California, as we move into the twenty-first century. I want to discuss the orga- nizational changes, goals, and initiatives U.C. needs to pursue to meet these demands and to sustain itself as a great univer- sity. These reflections do not cover all the issues of importance to the University. Instead, I am concentrating on a few of the","PeriodicalId":414986,"journal":{"name":"The Pursuit of Knowledge","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123646840","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It gave me an opportunity to re- think some events I was associated with at the National Science Foundation [NSF] in the 1970s. I would like to review briefly U.S. science policy since World War II from the perspective of the National Science Foundation, and in particular from the narrower perspective of science education and the social sci- ences at NSF. This is a personal account, not a scholarly one, and I would be delighted if my remarks were to stimulate some aspiring young historians to undertake a more careful study of the events I am going to discuss. My story begins with World War II and the remarkable suc- cess of U.S. science in the war effort—a critical factor in our vic- tory.
