Do you think that those who protested against the Vietnam War on these exact same campuses were "hijacking the primary function of a university?" Should Socrates have stuck to teaching arithmetic and safe subjects, was he actually guilty of corrupting the youth? Maybe your definition of "primary function of a university" isn't broad enough.
