Drawing on the recent works of Donald Kennedy, Robert Rosenzweig, and George Dennis O'Brian, Johnstone argues for a renewal of faith in the special ethicality of the academic profession, particularly within the research university, and urges a strengtheni ng of this quality rather than the current fascination with more governmental regulation or heightened market forces to assure the proper balance between the university's (appropriately) multiple, complex, and subtle missions.
