The text is a reflection on the university as a social institution, made from several studies whose findings are developed in evidence, first, the interest of some romos to turn it into a stage of manipulation and control, reducing it to the rationality of functional agencies, compared to the dynamics that the university established as a social institution whose base is mobilized from the social imaginary significations. In this process, is shown from the logic of the theory of social imaginary the way the university is set and institutionalized in a constant tension between knowledge and control, between the function and the institution and the foundation are given the defined and positioned as imaginary social institution.
