That intellectualism cannot be confined to the environs of a university is a dictum that requires no contest. From a systems-thinking point of view, a university is not a closed system, but an open system. Various faculty members and students interact with the external environment. From the external environment, they bring into the university outside values and norms. By parity of reasoning, they also take to the external environment values and norms from the university. Indeed, this is how an open system operates. It is not insulated from the external environment.
