Toward a Definition of an Urban University.

Spaights, Ernest

Urban Education, v15 n3 p369-74 Oct 1980

The urban university must directly respond to the special needs of the community in which it is located. The university should reflect its commitment to the city through its instructional programs, the interests of its faculty, the character of its student body, and the openness of its events and facilities to the public.
