É intrínseca a relação entre as universidades e a sociedade, em que uma influência a outra, e ambas são beneficiadas dessa relação. Entretanto, alguns autores tem refletido sobre se essa relação é equilibrada e se a resultante contribui para um ambiente socialmente democrático.

Por meio de análises interpretativistas, concluiu-se que o Estado tem direcionado o enfoque da educação superior para o setor privado, ao mesmo tempo em que tem promovido políticas públicas para o financiamento e assistência aos estudantes que desejam ingressar e permanecer em cursos de graduação.
