The primary objective of the present study is to critique the “Homo Economicus” (Economic Man) model as the anthropological foundation of the market-oriented university and to propose a conceptual model for the university based on Islamic anthropology (specifically, the Theory of Human Agency). To achieve this aim, the study first employs the method of conceptual analysis (assessing the structure of the concept) to critique the Homo Economicus model and its application within the university context. Subsequently, the progressive inferential method is utilized to introduce a novel model. The findings indicate that Homo Economicus, serving as the basis for the marketization of higher education, inherently contains significant contradictions. By promoting a culture of auditing, commodifying knowledge, and reducing faculty members to mere worker of knowledge, this model not only jeopardizes the individual and professional freedom and autonomy of university actors but also instigates severe mechanisms of control. Consequently, it unethically transforms the university into an arena for cultivating subjects compliant with neoliberalism. In this research, the “Truth-Seeking Benevolent Agent” model is proposed as the foundation for a new university paradigm. This model emphasizes human agency (linking the principles of knowledge, inclination, and will) and, by transcending the truth/utility dichotomy, paves the way for the “beneficialization” of sciences. The goal of beneficialization is to delineate an appropriate spectrum of truth-seeking versus utility for all disciplines, preventing reductionism in either dimension. The transformation of academic relations, council-based management, the restoration of university autonomy, and the redefinition of the state-university relationship are among the key implications of this model for higher education.
