The contribution examines the state’s role in the university system. Today, universities compete while the state steers at a distance (“regulatory state”). I highlight similarities with economic market regulation by independent authorities. I also discuss the meaning of autonomy: in the present framework, autonomy appears to violate the provisions in the Italian Constitution.

Abstract
The contribution examines the state’s role in the university system. Today, universities compete while the state steers at a distance (“regulatory state”). I highlight similarities with economic market regulation by independent authorities. I also discuss the meaning of autonomy: in the present framework, autonomy appears to violate the provisions in the Italian Constitution.
