Abstract: This article discusses the response of the university, as an institution, to the nuclear predicament, that is, to the threat of a major nuclear war and its implications. The subject is treated in a rather broad context including teaching, research, conferences, and community education. The main emphasis, however, is on undergraduate education. The authors' own institution, the University of California, is examined in the greatest detail. The authors conclude that the university's role is still very inadequate, and they estimate the magnitude of the required additional efforts. The article ends with some suggestions for making the university more effective in responding to the nuclear predicament.
