Reforms in Germany
Summary
Why it was necessary to perform chan-ges at German universities is discussed along three questions and answers, and their importance for the Austrian / European situation is stressed. The big expansion of education and training of the 60ies and 70ies can / could not be handled with the old university- models. 'Ivory-tower'-mentality is based both in pseudo-progressive and in traditional ideological schemes and defined individual and institutional consciousness.
There was no or not sufficient response to the increasing demand for more specialised education and research. Aspects of 'Why' and of content are discussed and addressed based on politically almost undisputed fields, taking into account higher education as a whole.
