When Bartholomae says that students must invent there own university he is saying that while students are writing they must come up with there own branch of writing from something else. For example form a department like what a university has which would be financial aid or academic services, so this way writing can be a learning experience.

He says that students must have a special right when speaking. This allows students to express themselves and come up with new ideas which could lead to a change in literature. The thought of students inventing something is a good idea when writing.

He explains that one paper is very elegant and tidy but lacks a sense of understanding, so if someone reads the paper a lot of editing may need to be done to it while the other paper explains creativity. Although the writer doesn’t believe what they say because they say they are creative and then call it imitation.
