CNI-announce readers who attended Jim Duderstadt's opening plenary talk at the Spring 2012 Member meeting or watched the video of the event will recall him discussing the work of National Academies Committee on the Future of the Research University. The report of this committee will be released on 14 June, and should be of interest to many readers. In addition, there will be a release event at the National Academies in Washington DC on that date, which is open to the public in person (registration required) and will also be webcast. Information on the report and the release event can be found at:
