I am in higher level education in the public university system. I used to view academia as a source of hope in society, and perhaps a progressive institution in someways, or some kind of source of hope with their supposed focus on science and research. After some years here, this “image” I had of academia has been shattered.

What are your perceptions of academia and research institutions, as Marxists?

    Yes, what you’re saying is completely true. Here I believe those services are overloaded with additional resources being allocated. Still, there would be something for those who want it.

    It was more the derision by peers and the cops I took issue with.
