the notion of the university is a creator as a public good anything university does is for public good but which example in the book is a most illustrative if there is a passage you wanted to read >> . >> yes. this idea of the public good becomes most clear around princeton university. the introduction on page 12. as the critical moment forces us to reckon with influence over cities, we cannot keep discussing how the university is truly educational in terms the universe cities are all around us that we failed to examine the consequences of schools embracing an increasingly for-profit approach to their urban surroundings. our blind spot largely comes from the assumption that higher education is an inherent public good most clearly marked by the status to provide services that would otherwise come from the government it appears a critical paradox has emerged. this is precisely what allows for an easier transfer of public dollars for private developments. city colleges and universities pay no taxes on their increasingly prominent real estate footprints. even public universities use their public goods status and for-profit research with the financial security of private developers
