American research universities are widely admired as the best in the world. The ability to turn research discoveries into new products, companies, and even industries make them the envy of the world. But as Stanford University President John Hennessy explains, there are storm clouds on the horizon, including inadequacy of federal research funding, decreasing state commitments to higher education, emerging well-funded challengers for scientific leadership, and lagging interest and preparation in science and engineering among U.S. students. He addresses how many of these challenges will require policy changes at the state and national level, but also reveals steps that universities can take to improve their ability to excel in tough times. The University of Washington is committed to ensuring digital accessibility in our services, programs, and activities.
