in englischer SpracheDie Rolle der Universitäten wird sich umkehren: Sie werden nicht länger als öffentliches Gut für sozialen und wirtschaftlichen Erfolg oder als individueller Nutzen für Studierende und deren Karriereperspektiven angesehen werden. Stattdessen werden sie zu Oasen für die persönliche Entwicklung und Selbstverwirklichung in einer zunehmend instrumentalisierten und marktorientierten Bildungswelt. Ein negatives Szenario? Nicht unbedingt.
