Abstract

National flagship universities are increasingly entangled in tensions between local and global demands. Governments and industries urge universities to become globally competitive and advance the frontiers of global science, at the same time as facilitating innovation and the competitiveness of local manufacturers (Begg, 2005; Hazelkorn, 2015; Horta, 2010; Huisman, 2008; Mohrman, 2013; Mok, 2015; Welch, 2002). Universities build up their research capacities, as well as extend their partnerships far and wide to create sustainable linkages with stakeholders who supply critical ideas, resources, and political support (Douglass & Edelstein, 2009; Elliott, 2017; Kot, 2016; Mohrman, Ma, & Baker, 2008; Mwangi, 2017; Pan, 1996). As academics make choices between profit and prestige-making opportunities in national and global markets and hierarchies on the one hand, and on the other, outreach to vulnerable communities seeking help in dealing with poor governance, epidemics, or environmental catastrophes, universities are increasingly plunged into moral crisis (Ford, 2017; Szyszlo, 2018; Welch, 2002). The actions they select can often signal controversy and desperation to society at large.
