| Research Abstract |
Incresingly tighter financial conditions at all levelscoupled with the fast developing information technologies, are sending American universities into the throes of restructuring. One manifestation of this is the current proliferation of quality distance education programs, for-profit cyber universities and corporate universities that have been steadily claiming nitches that the traditional on-campus universities have not been unable to fill. One notable indication from this is that the world as a whole may be heading toward a dynamic, competency-based society, where how or where one acquires desired competency is totally immaterial. In this paper we will present a factual study on the status of the American universities, based on facts and findings that we freshly gathered from our investigative travels and other sources from March, 1998 to the present. The content will be intended to be useful in two ways : to give a brief up-to-date survey on their status as is remarked above, and to interpret the survey results to draw useful clues for understanding the current national government's initiative forrestructuring national universities and research institutes.
