title: ESSAYS ON SCIENCE AND SOCIETY: Privatizing the University--the New Tragedy of the Commons.
abstract: Teaching and research at universities is increasingly funded from private sources. In this essay, Brown highlights the problems associated with this approach and calls for a return to largely public funding. He argues that the public, rather than corporations or individual scientists or even secretive governments, should own the results.
