Academic ecosystem

From Wikiversity

The idea of an academic ecosystem is a metaphor for a vision of academia which is more healthy and productive than the current one. Rather than thinking of the university in terms of a factory producing students, the concept of an academic ecosystem would have multiple institutions each playing a very well defined role.
