[new] the academy (Avg. Score: none / Raters: 0) (#8)

i'm that sorta person too, (as i guess you saw in my post)... nettime has been my main classroom, these years, since i got my internet connection (i think around when i was 17).
i don't think we need universities, not because they're too slow (of course, i'm not a free-market libertarian).. academia is ok - as a meeting space, an infrastructure for learning and research - and i don't think that this form should be taken away from those who enjoy it.
however i do not at all like the whole to-do about degrees, qualifications, titles. because the university - as the only learning institution able to dole out academic hats - represses other infrastructures, meeting places, forms of formation.
