Spanish term or phrase: torre de marfil, por encima o aislada
Cuando se habla de la tercera misión, se habla de varios fundamentos conceptuales, donde al menos se pueden identificar tres: primero desarrollo de actividades de cooperación entre universidad y agentes públicos y privados; segundo, compromiso social y comunitario a la solución de problemas de su alrededor (Bueno & Casani, 2007), y tercero el desarrollo de universidades emprendedoras (Clark,1998) y (Etzkowitz,2004). Este papel de la universidad debe estar directamente vinculado a las realidades específicas de cada sociedad; los enfoques de la misma coinciden en que la misma tenga apertura hacia su realidad social, contraste la idea una imagen de torre de marfil, por encima o aislada de los problemas sociales.

agree  philgoddard: I would omit "above or" - it doesn't add anything.
