University as It Should Be
No. 77 SEPTEMBER 2017
«What will this course do for me?» This is the question that thousands of students ask each year. What if it’s the wrong question? One of the fundamental steps towards individual freedom is now reduced to the formula of guaranteed employment. University is linked to employability. In this vicious circle, we look at college degrees as a means to achieve an increasingly specialised end. What university really is and what it should be, in an essay that goes to the heart of the country and of university education.
