Either a new rector was sent from Berlin or the faculty elected one of their peers that was acceptable to Berlin, as happened in Freiburg. And what happened at Freiburg in 1933-34, wasn't as enthusiastically pro-Nazi compared to other universities. That's different from the sense you get in Farias, et al, that what happened in Freiburg was due to Heidegger's embrace of Nazi ideology. Heidegger argued that he was actually delaying the nazi's plans - e.g., by ignoring Berlin's requests to fire some members of the faculty. I don't buy all the ex post facto excuses for his behavior, but knowing the history of higher education in 1930's helps to understand what happened in Freiburg.enowninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12287486840371546648noreply@blogger.com
