Para analizar el concepto de Universidad es conveniente revisar brevemente el desarrollo histórico de las instituciones que reciben este nombre. Estas instituciones no fueron diseñadas de acuerdo a alguna idea o concepto predeterminado, sino que fueron evolucionando a lo largo del tiempo y definiendo, en este proceso, sus características, sus valores, sus principios y sus objetivos. Estos atributos, creo yo, son los que constituyen el concepto de Universidad. Trataré de mostrar que algunos de ellos son permanentes, pero otros dependen de circunstancias que varían con el tiempo. Por eso un análisis como el que se pretende hacer en este trabajo debe considerar los antecedentes históricos de las universidades. Esta consideración será necesariamente muy breve. Revisiones más amplias y extensas bibliografías han sido presentadas por Cobban (1992), Frijhoff (1992) y Shils (1992).La Universidad, como institución, data de la Europa medieval. Aunque tiene antecedentes en las culturas Griega, Romana y Arábica, las primeras instituciones con una organización formal nacieron en Europa Occidental. Bolonia y París representan los prototipos de universidades medievales, tanto por su antigüedad como por su forma de organización. Se considera que, aunque evolucionaron paulatinamente, para el siglo XII ya estaban constituidas como tales.Bolonia se inició como una escuela de leyes que pronto alcanzo gran prestigio. Muchos de sus alumnos eran personas adultas que llegaban de distintos sitios de Europa y que contrataban a doctores en leyes para que fuesen sus profesores. Ya que eran extraños en la ciudad, enfrentaron problemas que los hicieron unirse para defender sus intereses, y una vez unidos, tomaron el control de la Universidad. Fue pues Bolonia la primera universidad cuyo gobierno estaba en manos de los estudiantes. Esta situación permaneció hasta 1350, aproximadamente, cuando las autoridades de la ciudad recuperaron el control de la Universidad y la entregaron a los profesores (Cobban, 1992, p. 1247). Otras universidades que se desarrollaron posteriormente copiaron en forma total o parcial el sistema de gobierno por parte de los estudiantes.

A very perceptive friend gave me this book as a Christmas present because she thought it might speak to where I was in my life, and she was (as usual) correct! It's not the most well-written book. The author talks in circles...
