This paper considers the nature of the university as an institution in a time of great change in the function of the university. Lifelong Learning as a concept is highly politicized and its desired ends are not clear - possibilities are discussed. The debates herein are related to the position of the universities and their (potential and current) role in recruiting adult learners. Consideration is given to the ways in which the university must change if it is to become a fit place in which for adults to learn; continued and increased adult participation being crucial if lifelong learning is to become a reality.
