But as seen in the instance of the European universities between the mid-19th and mid-20th centuries, when institutes of learning become socially more inclusive, they also gain academically in the long run. Much depends, however, on the process of becoming socially inclusive and the forces that drive this process. For such an undertaking to be successful, the tensions between demands of social inclusion and those of academic discrimination need to be tackled convincingly. - Reproduced.  aPublic institutions  aUniversities  aEconomic and Political Weekly  a66472  c66472d66472  00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-07-19hVolume no: 40, Issue no: 31pAR66924r2018-07-19w2018-07-19yAR
