University Autonomy
Summary
There is neither a reason to idealize autonomy as a typical sign of a former corporate state, nor it is reasonable to expect autonomy to remain as an invariable constant in a framework of increasing social importance of producing and reproducing knowledge. Therefore the subject 'university and power' has to be tackled again. The relation of constitutionally requested freedom of science and university law is not determined in an unique way, and at the same time the threat to misuse autonomy for hiding corporate interests is not eliminated. The valid request for universities to unify production of knowledge and teaching can be realized in independent systems similar to municipalities in Austrian law.
