"First of all, the Humboldtian ideal of the unity of research and teaching has been in practice scrapped in favor of a division of labor, the function of which is to produce more efficiently: patents and citations, in the case of research; highly skilled laborers, in the case of teaching. Second, this division of labor is necessary insofar as the university is seen primarily as an economic motor for the region (understood locally for smaller colleges and nationally for the major universities). The classical ideals of Lehrfreiheit and Lernfreiheit, the academic equivalents to free speech and civil rights in liberal democracies, are eroded as they constitute impediments to achieving the market ideals of efficiency in production and distribution of goods (goods here understood as more engineers
and fewer humanists among students, for example; patents and technical applications instead of Bildung and basic research.)" "The Future of the European University: Liberal Democracy or Authoritarian Capitalism?"(PDF). www.cultureunbound.ep.liu.se. Archived(PDF) from the original on 2015-01-02.
