Universities, corporations and class - extract

Click here to access this extract from Henry Heller's book entitled The Capitalist University posted on Counterfire (Britain).
Universities became an element in what has been called the ideological or non-coercive apparatus of the state. They came more closely under state control and their teachings helped to tie students more closely to the existing political and social order. At the same time the growth in the size and functions of universities made them more and more resemble private corporations even though many were public institutions.
