Abstract

This term has come to represent a rallying cry f or at least f our conflicting sectors of the university community and in the process the concept f or which it stands has been rendered increasingly powerless. A major source of confusion may be the incompatibility of the twin functions demanded of the university today: the preparation and certification of incumbents of specialized roles (requiring supervision by society) and the transmission and construction of verified knowledge (requiring protection from both the surrounding society and various groups within the organization.)
