Description
Summary:The autonomy of universities was often viewed as a remedy to the many evils that burdened the Spanish system of higher education at the end of the 19th century. Called for for a long time by various Madrilenian professors, it was suddenly granted to the Iberian universities by a decree of May 21, 1919. This article analyzes the very divisive and contrasting reactions that this unexpected as much as temporary text created among the Spanish academic community until its quick repeal in 1922. The improvisation and the unrealistic nature of some of its financial provisions were denounced. But above all, this reform made university life dependent on local political, religious and economic circles, and raised strong fears about the loss of academic independence.
