随着环境压力越来越使大学的未来受到质疑，大学也面临着巨大的变化。作为社会科学活动的核心场所，重要的是不仅要了解这些变化发生的原因，还要了解它们对大学内部实践的影响。如果没有这一点和对未来的担忧，它们作为活动场所的区别和价值就留给了那些工具性实践是短期的并根据明显的经济需要行事的人。对这种状况的解释常常集中在管理和官僚主义日益严重的问题上，但对学术活动却相对沉默。本文认为，学术专业精神的形式与我们在大学中发现的管理主义之间存在着密切的关系，作为对大学所面临的不断变化的压力的答案。两者都表现出个人主义，并将知识与认识分开。总体而言，这有损于大学文化以及这些背景与大学内产生的作品内容的关系。
Universities are subject to considerable changes as environmental pressures increasingly place their futures in question. As core sites of social scientific activity, it is important to understand not only why these changes are occurring, but their consequences for practices within universities. Without this and a concern with the future, their distinction and value as sites of activity are left to those whose instrumental practices are short-term and act according to apparent economic necessities. Frequently, explanations for this state of affairs focus upon the problems of increasing management and bureaucracy, but remain relatively silent concerning the activities of academics. This article argues that there is an affinity between forms of academic professionalism and the managerialism we find in universities as an answer to the changing pressures to which they are subject. Both exhibit an individualism and separate knowledge from knowing. Overall, this detracts from the cultures of universities and how these contexts relate to the content of the work that is produced within them.
