The best recent piece that I’ve seen about NYU’s Global Network University is “Global Ambitions” by Elizabeth Redden, which was published on the Inside Higher Ed website on March 11.
It’s well researched: Redden spoke with both proponents and critics of the GNU and describes different aspects of the GNU initiative with accuracy.
I think she presents a balanced view of the opportunities and pitfalls that we face as we develop the portal campuses and the study-away sites. I urge both friends and foes of the GNU to read it.
