 International Higher Education--26/4
The main characteristics of this “model” were: fragmentation of the university, separation of research and teaching, and the bureaucratization of higher education, with no trace of university autonomy or academic freedom.
The university was a loose association of faculties, “independent” research institutes, and other “constituent parts” (e.g., student dormitories, libraries), linked by an agreement transfering certain, mostly formal and ceremonial, functions to the University Assembly, the Academic Council, and the rector.
In spite of this, some important advances in university restructuring were made—as contained, for example, in the first statute of the University of Zagreb (in 1994)—due to the vision and determination of its leadership.

Born on Feb. 19, 1473, in Thorn (Torun), Poland, Nicolaus Copernicus was destined to become, through the publication of his heliocentric theory 70 years later, one of the seminal figures in the history of scientific thought.
In the midst of his radical reordering of the structure of the universe, Copernicus still adhered to the ancient Aristotelian doctrines of solid celestial spheres and perfect circular motion of heavenly bodies, and he held essentially intact the entire Aristotelian physics of motion.
The enunciation of the heliocentric theory by Copernicus marked the beginning of the scientific revolution, and of a new view of a greatly enlarged universe.

Some of these institutions faced many difficulties in the past: the Faculty of Theology, from which the University of Zagreb developed in the 17th century, was expelled from the university by the communist authorities in 1952, though this decision was never officially accepted by the academic community.
The second definition—a university for Catholics only—is hardly feasible or desirable and is in conflict with the legislation concerning accredited higher education institutions.
One possible model would be for the university to concentrate on the final stages of the academic program—postgraduate and doctoral studies—with small and carefully selected groups of qualified graduate students, thus avoiding expensive, massive undergraduate programs and related financial and personal challenges.
