Abstract

This paper examines the public nature of the university and its changing dynamics over time and in different world regions. Specifically, it studies the relationship between the state and the public character of universities in the case of different ideas or models of the university institution, particularly the French and Prussian models. Additionally, it analyzes that relationship in two crucial areas: the financing of higher education and its different sources, and the participation of universities in the public sphere of democratic discussion. It concludes that the concept of “public” does not coincide with –and cannot be reduced to—the notion of the state. And that the Chilean intellectual tradition combines within a vision of a mixed provision of higher education, both state and private in a singular concept of “public” that is not limited to state property, administration and funding.
