The League of World Universities is a formal grouping of invited members that formed in 1991 and hosted its’ inaugural conference that same year. The league was established by famed educator L. Jay Oliva, then rector of New York University. He saw that many of the problems facing NYU were common to other peer schools offering an international education from urban campuses.
Many of the invited participants were members of UNICA, an association of leading European research universities that operate from urban campuses and, indeed, UNICA was a member of the League in its own right, however not all UNICA members were invited to participate in the League.
The League met every two years from 1991 until 2001. Sadly, it’s founder, L. Jay Oliva, who had left his post as rector at NYU to manage the League’s affairs, passed away and the League has been dormant since. Following the inaugural meeting, conferences were organised under theme headings with collaborative papers being presented, including: “Large City Universities and the Public School System” (1993); “The Image of the University” (1995); “Technical Support of Shared Academic Initiatives” (1996); “The Impact of New Technologies in Higher Education” (1997); “Revenue Diversification in a World of Shrinking Government Resources” (1999); and “The Globalization of Higher Education” (2001)
