Un-Guiding Light

This whole idea of the institution as a vehicle for power and stability is really throwing me for a loop, probably because I have never thought of places of educational enlightenment as places that were so deeply rooted in tradition and holding true to the values that they resistant change. That guiding light--that ivory tower--turns its light off to change. Will we, the future smarties of the institutions--the names--the professors, the doctors, the administrators--fall into this proces of habitualization because it requires less work, or will we form a structural coup to revamp the institutional setting to create a more cosmopolitan and contemporary environment in which learners can grow? It is hard to say, as the norms of society hold on tight to control what goes on in many aspects.

I want change. How can we evoke change efficiently without having everyone turn on us? Seriously, how? I should probably read more on educational policy and communism to reach enlightenment...
