job performance, social background and being placed in a stable social group, a high degree of power on economic, political, administrative and judicial elite is different from the ordinary, the excellence of the masses (Hartmann 2002, 2004). This also applies to universities, whose peak position is given by academic reputation, financial resources and selectivity of the student selection.
Does it have a university done once in the VIP lounge, the beginning of a cycle, with critical exposure value: the university with the most money can hire the most sought-after scientists and outdo the competition by better mass pushing universities to the brink of a qualitative existence. Once public funds are saved, if "mass" universities (state universities) in competition from even more, which leads to a further rise of the elite universities. Financial strength and reputation form a mutually reinforcing mechanism, which affects the selectivity heavily in the selection of students. The higher financial status, power and social reputation of the university, the sooner she can be Afford to take only the "best" students. "Best" Students bring the following requirements: They are powerful, wealthy, and leadership skills and willingness and drive the revenues of the elite university in the next level. It applies the principle of Matthew: "Whoever has will be given"
the example of Baden-Wurttemberg, the mechanism described above is obvious that the richest province is from 7% fewer students than it has high school graduates, it exported students, relieved himself and charged the other provinces. Her Excellency consolidates and expands.
to As for the selection of students, so it goes Hartman follow, no longer primarily about performance, read, but to social selection. Children of rich parents, children of the "ruling class" are the majority of the students. (Bourdieu 2004, p. 168F.), The one for the payment of their benefits, partly because of the possibility of excellent education and support during the entire childhood. Hart we speak here of the transformation mechanisms of inherited Kaptials Kaptial in school.
should now take a decision in the public debate be made for the people to higher education there is to Bowen, Kurzweil, Tobin (Bowen / Kurzweil / Tobin 2005, p. 1 ff, p. 39, p. 72, p. 258f) two decision alternatives:.. Either one decides for peak performance for a small number of people, this makes for the intellectual elite, to powerful and competitive leaders or deciding make itself, a large number of people Education and Science, renounces an elite society forward in the few and the rest no seats.
