Mutual distrust plus SDS maximalism killed Frankfurt’s experiment in shared departmental governance.

Evidence

The introduction of a departmental council in the Department of Sociology within the Philosophy Faculty, with equal representation on it for students, professors and other staff, did not succeed in Frankfurt because of mutual distrust between the students and professors and because of the demands of the group that was setting the tone in the SDS, which went beyond this and aimed at a direct politicization of science. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 665
