Abstract
Since public service was elevated in modern US universities in the mid-nineteenth century, the mission of the university has been diversified and university academics’ responsibilities have been involved with not only teaching and research activities, but also service activities (Veysey 1965). Especially since the 1990s, with rapidly growing demands from society, market, and the community, tremendous changes have occurred in almost all major higher education systems worldwide.
