| Abstract | Abstract The university's mission of serving as a “fortress” for freedom of speech, inquiry, and criticism of established truths is inextricably connected with democracy. Such a mission can be pursued only in a climate of genuine political and academic freedom. Three other aspects of democracy in the university are discussed: equality of access, university governance, and the public utility of the university. It is argued that “equal representation” or “one man one vote” cannot be applied in university governance because it comes into conflict with the notion of competence—a conflict that cannot be resolved by taking votes. Interest groups inside and outside of the university cannot be allowed to interfere with the free pursuit of knowledge. The “internal audit”, that is, peer review (by, ultimately, the international community of scholars) has to take precedence over “vertical” review by government bureaucracy. |
