TEXTE INTÉGRAL
1Active participants in university value the ideals of autonomy, independent research and the advancement of knowledge. Universities are portrayed by many as adhocracies in which professors pursue their own research individually. Over the years, however, broader social roles and expectations of performance have been emphasized for universities. As a result of perceived demands concerning the contribution that universities can make to economic and social development, funders of universities have sought expansion, leading them to expand their mission from education and research to becoming an agent of progress generally.
2In the face of the rising costs of university education, growing pressures for wider access and the need to use science for economic progress, governments have developed university systems that are publicly financed while tuition fees and private contributions finance a relatively small share of total costs. Returns on private and public investments in education and research, especially at the university level, are deemed to be very high and have served as a rationale for allocating substantial levels of public funding to postsecondary education and quasi state takeovers.
3Harnessing the research capabilities of universities to enhance competitiveness abroad and rejuvenate the economy has also become a central political issue. Competition on a global scale makes the vitality of university education and research a key element of industrial strategies. Universities face the dual challenge of maintaining a firm commitment to humanistic values and traditions while responding to new demands for greater involvement in technological and economic development. Universities, whether professors like it or not, will face increasingly complex and demanding challenges: difficult choices will have to be made.
THANKS

Augustine: I think the Brazilian critical theorist and educator you were referring to is Paulo Freire. Yes, he is the author of the bestseller, Pedagogy of the Oppressed. His liberation theology aligns snugly with some of your positions you've articulated on social reforms.
