Civil rights are those which appertain to man in right of his being a member of society.

I love existing in pre big bang conditions.
University, as institutions, pre-date the information economy by many centuries and are not for-profit cultural entities, whose reason of existence (purportedly) is to discover truth, codify it through techniques of scholarship, and then teach it.
