Guest: Donald Langenberg.

Today on Focus we have another program in our series on the changing role of the university in modern education. Our guest is Donald Langenberg, Chancellor of the University System of Maryland and a nationally known advocate for higher education, here to discuss research universities in the third millenium.

Guest: Michael Hansen.

Today on Focus we'll look at the ways in which relations between corporations and universities have affected biotechnology research. The increasing attention paid to profitability in academic work, says Michael Hanson, has driven research in directions with high expected returns—and led it away from areas that might contribute to the greater good. He joins us today to explain how biotechnology has developed an emphasis on genetic engineering—profit—over agricultural ecology.
