The university has truly been a space of freedom of expression and research for many years. However, it has also remained a closed book, with deeply competitive and narcissistic content.
For those who wanted to read it and see its functions and intricacies, there has always been a smokescreen. As a result, it appears externally as a somewhat mythical place, where marvelous things happen and the highest intellectual activities of society are performed.
This book seeks to debunk this myth and open this enclosed space to society and our students. At the same time, it serves as an allegory of the "farm" of academics, who compete and clash for their own guild interests, with a peculiar kind of scientific legitimization of things, which has created within the university Departments a peculiar relationship of the Alligator with its victim.
Furthermore, this book is a requiem for the public university, which, as it seems, will soon give way to the operational and commodified private university. Thus, the great plan of the commodification of research and knowledge will be completed.
