Frankfurt University resisted Nazi infiltration longer than most German universities.

Evidence

Right up till the first weeks of 1933,’ Dünner recalled in his autobiography, Frankfurt University was one of the few universities in Germany where the Nazis could be sure of getting their heads bloodied if they tried to occupy the main gates or provoke clashes with left-wing or Jewish students inside the university buildings.' … Even at Frankfurt University, liberal discussions between the left and right wings came to a halt during these years. According to Karl Korn's memoirs, sociology was even spoken of as a Jewish science’. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 463
