Abstract
Chapter 2 presents a general discussion of how the civic mission of the university has been advanced, theoretically and practically, in different parts of the world. The chapter presents a civic mission at a crossroads and presents a set of typologies: civic versus un-civic university, humaniversity versus impact university, and multiversity versus transversity.
