Jacques Derrida, 1988:

"Behind 'academic freedom', one can discern the silhouette of a constraint which is all the more ferocious and implacable because it conceals and disguises itself in the form of laissez-faire.  Through the said 'academic freedom', it is the State that controls everything.  [...]  The State wants to attract docile and unquestioning functionaries to itself.  It does so by means of strict controls and rigorous constraints which these functionaries believe they apply to themselves in an act of total auto-nomy."
