It is amazing that since a century ago, which all world universities have developed and equipped with degrees of PhD and Master's degree for their academic staff, no changes has happened in the quality of Integrity and Ethics practices at world Universities! One fact about this statement is the high expenditure of advanced English Language Universities on Staff Integrity and Ethics to maintain the modern Human Rights Act, which gradually has been implemented into University policies in the world, second fact is the interpretation of each University from these government policies, published on world universities websites as University policies. Democratic Governments usually dictate that three "legislation Power, Judicial Power, and Executive Power" should be independent from each other. However at Universities of same democratic governments, these three powers are all tangled with each other, suffocating, rather than giving freedom of speech to university population!
The reason why modern universities cannot work under democracy is the division of power between: Students, Administrative Staff and Academics are not democratic. Definition of democracy says "Our Freedom ends to the start of other's freedom". At modern Universities the freedom of Students ends to their pocket rather to their freedom, as Academics pass rules called "University Policies" which only benefits themselves, and not the students. Therefore the freedom of academics ends to their career survival at the university and their own future employability and not to the freedom of Students in their learning and future employability.
At modern Universities administrative staff's freedom ends to their survival as a staff with excellent interpersonal skills, rather a fair go staff applying integrity, ethics, and social justice to the operation, which benefits students. These administrative staff are usually deeply engaged with keeping everyone at their office happy and the last one to please is a student of that university with the right to learn. So the freedom of an administrative staff in a modern university does not end to freedom of student with right as a student to be served with social justice, integrity and ethics [the quality standards for modern universities ranking]. Sometimes an administrative staff even an Executive staff of the university should bypass integrity and social justice to accommodate for lack of budget due to corruption costs and waste at the university he/she works for!!!
Therefore it is not amazing to see very well funded universities with very expensive fees in the world actually are very low in academic ranks and try to rank themselves highly by being part of the universities under 50 years of age!, rather ranking themselves by how many articles were published in those universities about "Social Justice in Education" or How much is the portion of Women/Men students in their university in PhD courses? You would be surprise to see the male students' legislative freedom in these low ranked universities in [democratic practices standards] invades the female students legislative freedom with portion 99.8% to 0.2% specially in Mechanical Engineering faculties, which are traditionally men's engineering dominant faculties world wide.
In democracy, judicial power of students of university ends to "Encumbrance Policy" at University which is basically excommunication for students and start of freedom for judicial power of administrative and academic staff of university. At the Encumbrance stage, the student is labelled by administrative staff for his/her right not to be harassed by students. All after this phase is Government cost for time and labour and no economic or educational benefits for government and student, except rambling of the student.
In conclusion in modern universities it is expensive to teach and it is hard to learn effectively. Deschooling for expensive courses such as PhD course can be a solution for such interference of three democratic powers knots at modern universities, which are trying to keep their standards under Human Rights Act opening a golden door for elderly, disabled, women with family and children responsibilities, international students enrolled in overseas students [Exchange/guest], Veterans, devotees, native owners of the country but with dark skin colour, etc.
The novel idea of opening small research centres for each of above diversity groups to accommodate separation of three democratic powers, rather than accommodating the "interpersonal skilled administration staff" in PhD level, can save millions of dollars cost of auditing the well mannered hypocrites'/honest students' actions and practices at modern universities established to fund the country economy, instead of being funded by the country to serve students' learning and industrial based research and becoming independent in technology leadership!

15. President Trump by a change in wording and language for some attractive budget marketers, put a hand cuff on those fraudulent staff, who try to use words for draining the public tax for their admin cost, rather for the disadvantaged, disables, or Science. This is the first real Action President did to deal with American public authorities corruption in Cost Management! Donald Trump is a feasible man of performance and requires graphs of performance as proof of public service, not just evidences, Science-Based, etc.
