The university remains the place where
fundamental questions that touch the person
and community can be aired, in the areas of
economics, politics, culture, science, theology,
the search for meaning.
The university should be a bearer of human and
ethical values;
it should be the critical conscience of the society;
it should illuminate with its reflection those who
are addressing the problematic of the modern or
postmodern society;
it should be the crucible where the diverse
tendencies in human thought are debated and
solutions proposed.

Peter-Hans Kolvenbach
