Description: Mexican university presidents and other experts reflect on and offer recommendations for extended responsibilities of higher education as well as strategies for fulfilling them.  Authors argue that beyond academic mission, universities should be active in pursuit of sustainable development, reducing poverty, defending human rights and ensuring peace.  Educators attest that means for achieving these ideals are by participating in strategic alliances with government, private enterprise, and civil society.
