title = {German Universities as State-sponsored Co-operatives},
year = {2007},
note = {Most universities in Germany are public firms but they have many
properties of co-operatives. The most important thereof are described
and analysed together with the characteristics of state-sponsorship.
The real companions of the university as a co-operation are its
professors. The same is true for the faculty level, perhaps even more
so. However, especially the students are also organised in a
co-operative form as are the representatives of all membership groups
together. The state is making some crucial reforms that transform this
university model or may even destroy it. In any case, the change is
slow, painful and open-ended.},
