It is important to understand that these dynamics are to be expected.  Regardless of how it happens, the vast majority of University members outgrow this organization and leave.  This is not a defect -- it is the University fulfilling its mission.

Policy action and reinforcement, at its best, does not come from being jaded or egotistical.  It comes from the experience of what is necessary to keep the University intact and successful.  Espionage, intrigue and interpersonal dramas are not merely a by-product of social structures within Eve Online, as they may be in other MMO games.  Instead, they are an encouraged feature.  In this environment, the University's goal of maintaining an open and agreeable corporation is effectively equivalent to swimming upstream.  The University aims to provide an environment of learning and camaraderie.  Boundaries are necessary to maintain the environment the University provides, and those boundaries may be enforced with ruthless efficiency and unwavering resolve.  Execution of these policies has nothing to do with bringing you down or stifling your creativity.  It has everything to do with the University continuing to be available for transforming the new and inexperienced into competent and streetwise citizens of New Eden.
