  Duderstadt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Duderstadt is a city in southern Lower Saxony, Germany, located in the district Göttingen.
It is the center and capital of the landscape and area of the northern part of the Eichsfeld ("Untereichsfeld").
Much of Duderstadt's abundant wealth in historic German architechture is the result of not having been a primary target of allied air raids during World War II, in which a greater number of German cities lost their century-old architectural treasures.

 UH:  Can colleges and universities survive the information age ?       ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Duderstadt contends that to the degree that this privileged status is derived from the monopoly higher education currently exercises over the accreditation process, hard times lie immediately ahead.
Duderstadt suggests that were higher education accrediting agencies perceived by elected officials and other policymakers as using their power over the accreditation process to thwart non-traditional entrants to the higher education market, those agencies could lose the moral legitimacy that makes their credentialing authority possible.
Answering his own question, Duderstadt suggests a future in which innovation in higher education is initiated by private sector organizations like ATandT, the Apollo Group, Barnes and Noble, Cisco Systems, Walt Disney, McDonalds, McGraw-Hill, Microsoft, Motorola, Sylvan Learning, and other corporations known for their commitment to customer-centered service and support.
