On the one hand, you have rule-oriented, punishment-oriented, authoritarian control freaks.
Against them are arrayed goal-oriented, research-oriented, authoritative knowledge freaks.
The power battle is between discoverable authoritative knowledge vs righteous political power over those damnable uppity scholars.
The main bugaboo is creativity, as produced by artists and original researchers. The rule-oriented, punishment-oriented, authoritarian control freaks are at a loss when it comes to regulating creativity in the arts and sciences.
