Noam Chomsky
"The university should be a center for radical social inquiry, as it already is a center for what might be called radical inquiry into pure sciences. For example, it should loosen its institutional forms even further, to permit a richer variety of work and study and experimentation, and it should provide a home for the free intellectual, for the social critic, for the irreverent and radical thinking that is desperately needed if we are to escape from the dismal reality that threatens to overwhelm us. The primary barrier to such a development will not be the unwillingness of administrators or the stubbornness of trustees. It will be the unwillingness of students to do the serious and difficult work required and the fear of the faculty that its security and authority, its guild structure, will be threatened."
