This take, whether you realize it or not, is precisely how a Western-centric perspective misses large swaths of actual human history. The West did not invent the concept of a university. Like much of Western thought and society, it was quite late to the party from its Eastern counterparts. When you take a *modern* definition of the word "university" and compare it to facts about a *nearly 2 millennia old educational intuition*, you should expect at least some technical, minute, semantic differences.
