A silenced student merely receives pedagogical messages, consumes educational goods, and is supposed to obey taken-for-granted orders of the university. In this article, we illustrate how silencing happens as a consequence of a structural change in the balance of power between the Finnish government and the universities. The universities try to play safe due to the increased directive power of the government. This has had effects on how universities define the roles of students: In the changed conditions, the universities see students as clients whose purpose is to study and graduate, but not to revolt or act as political beings.
