Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

MODERATORS
You're absolutely correct - but what you're describing is a learning institution in general, not a university. That's the fundamental issue.
Universities have a very specific purpose and it's academic. Unfortunately, our society not only shoves a bunch of commercial values in the mix, but also eliminates most of the other learning opportunities, which turned universities in this weird mix of conflicting interests and unrealistic expectations.
Is this some American usage of the word University as opposed to College that I'm too British to understand? I don't think I quite followed your second paragraph; unless you mean that a university that doesn't support genuine academia over conflicting interests is undeserving of the name, in which case I agree with that much... But I would say that as far as value goes, it should also have those same benefits I mentioned for those as attend it.
