'Pretty soon there'll be questions on whether the "clients" think there were enough jokes about the Holocaust in the modern history module'

It is argued that it is the responsibility of universities to resist the reductions of commerce and instead take their part in the wider economy by educating the sensibility and developing the intelligence of those that pass through the system so that they can better see the inequities that commerce is increasingly inflicting.
