Google's mission statement reads, "to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful." This is pretty much the withered third leg of the Liberal Arts purpose: create new knowledge (i.e. research), maintain existing knowledge (i.e. teach) and apply that knowledge in service to others (i.e. outreach).
So maybe google would have ideas and mechanisms suited to the outreach work of universities and other centers of research and analysis, not only around USA but around the rest of the planet, too, whether campuses or campfires is where wisdom and learning take place.
