Perhaps the focus on university is somewhat a good thing, as oftentimes that's where some change can originate from. A lot people's views are often formed in their university years.
I'm not a psychologist or sociologist, but there's a lot of evidence this forms earlier, via peer group, media, and parenting.
Unfortunately universities are capitalist organizations with all the accompanying weaknesses. We'll only see action from them if the probable return of action is positive.
Most traditional universities are either state institutions or private charity nonprofits, neither of which are "capitalist organizations" in any normal sense of the word.
