The liberal university allows its students a measure of liberty, but only so as they do not challenge the basis of university education: the prepartion of a privileged minority for a return to the ranks of the ruling class from which they have taken temporary leave of absence. The university has, in fact, becine a sausage-machine which turns out people without any real culture, and incapable of thinking for themselves, but trained to fit into the economic system of a highly industrialized society. The student may glory in the renown of his university status, but in fact he is being fed 'culture' as goose is fed grain - to be sacrificed on the alter of bourgeois appetites.
Abglanz and out.
