Abstract | University communities have strayed from their democratic essence, breaching their social contract with society and prompting necessary calls for scrutiny. Students and faculty worldwide are protesting, highlighting this breach. Through a Rousseauian lens, this paper shows the breach occurs due to neoliberalism’s use of managerialism to usurp the rightful university sovereign body: academics, students, professional staff, and other university citizens. |
