Universities are large groups/societies and in some general sense aren't different from other large groups (churches, small suburbs, small cities, sports clubs, captured TV audiences). Are universities unique or do other large social groups have their own effects? Are they substitutes or complements? Eg, if one large group is constrained is there spillovers elsewhere? Really interesting research with lots of open questions
