The University of Louvain, which had been largely Thomistic, was compelled to close its doors, and other important institutions of learning were either closed or seriously hampered in their work.
The direct and primary object of the intellect is the universal, which is prepared and presented to the passive intellect (intellectus possibilis) by the active intellect (intellectus agens) which illuminates the phantasmata, or mental images, received through the senses, and divests them of all individuating conditions.
The University of Ottawa and Laval University are the centres of Thomism in Canada.

 Condemnations (University of Paris) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Condemnations at the medieval University of Paris were enacted to restrict certain teachings as being heretical.
These condemnations eventually led to a direct attack on the works of Thomas Aquinas.
According to Pierre Duhem, the Condemnations led to the birth of modern science, because they forced thinkers to break from relying so much on Aristotle, and to think about the world in new ways.

 Condemnation of 1277 (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
Tempier's condemnation has often been depicted as the most dramatic and significant doctrinal censure in the history of the University of Paris, and a landmark in the history of medieval philosophy and theology.
Evidence of the presence of rationalist tendencies at the University of Paris was found in certain articles of Tempier's syllabus, or in the prefatory letter in which Tempier expounded his notion of double truth.
In more recent times, the idea that Tempier's condemnation was a symptom of the existence of rationalist currents at the University of Paris, in the sense of the emergence of philosophy as an autonomous discipline vis-à-vis divine revelation, has been further developed by scholars such as Alain de Libera, Kurt Flasch, and Luca Bianchi.

 Godfrey of Fontaines
Godfrey of Fontaines was one of the major philosopher-theologians to serve as Regent Master at the University of Paris in the final quarter of the thirteenth century, along with Henry of Ghent and Giles of Rome.
University statutes required one to spend at least eight years in studying theology before becoming a Master, and it is also known that he was inscribed at the Sorbonne before August 15, 1274.
Godfrey was surely familiar with the controversy concerning whether one should with Avicenna stress the nonparticular and therefore the universal character of being as being and hence make this the subject of metaphysics or rather with Averroes emphasize it as the science which has the highest kind of being, the divine, as its subject.

It is this third variety of heresy that J.M.M.H. Thijssen addresses in Censure and Heresy at the University of Paris, 1200-1400.
The book documents 30 cases in which university trained scholars were condemned for disseminating allegedly erroneous opinions in their teaching or writing, and focuses particularly on four academic censures that have occupied prominent positions in the historiography of medieval philosophy.
Thijssen grants central importance to a number of questions so far neglected by historians regarding judicial procedures, the authorities supervising the orthodoxy of teaching, and the effects of condemnations on the careers of the accused.

 Medieval Studies 120B: The Origin of the University   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The University is a specifically Western phenomenon, created in the Middle Ages; normatively, it is defined as a corporation empowered by recognized authorities to offer permanent, universal, and binding status, affirming a level of achievement through study, and certifying the practice of defined functions.
Essential, then, to the notion of a university is its independent standing as an association (for ``universitas'' in late Latin basically means a guild), and its ability to confer rights, in the case of teaching, the jus ubique docendi--the right to teach anywhere.
Scholars suddenly had the tools--in the rules of dialectical logic--and the matter--in the form of scientific speculation--to investigate the universe, particularly the universe as apprehended by the human mind.
