There is a good speech (or it seems so, 
at a very first look) by Hunter R.Rawlings III
http://www.cornell.edu/president/announcement_2005_1021.cfm
'State of the (Cornell) University Address'.

'[...] To that end, I ask our three task forces, 
on life in the age of the genome, 
wisdom in the age of digital information, 
and sustainability, to consider means of confronting 
the following questions: how to separate information 
from knowledge and knowledge from ideology; 
how to understand and address the ethical dilemmas 
and anxieties that scientific discovery has produced; 
and how to assess the influence of secular humanism 
on culture and society. [...]'
