In this paper, we take an ontological approach to examining the university as an object of activism. We speculatively theorize a Border University and a Border U. A Border University understands and explains academic policy and policy regimes as a bordering practice expressed through technologies that govern the flow and junctures of social movement. The Border U that we theorize centers the lives and contributions of Latinx (im)migrant communities. Border U emerges through activist opposition to the dominant Border University. In speculating Border University and Border U, we draw heavily upon Thomas Nail’s ontology of motion, theory of the border, and figure of the migrant. Recasting the university within an ontology of motion allows new possibilities for building anew a social institution that can tackle the persistent problems of the past, reconciling them in the present, and preparing for the future, as we try to illustrate in the case of Latinx (im)migrant communities in US higher education.

在本文中，我们采用本体论的方法来考察大学作为行动主义的对象。我们对边境大学和边境大学进行理论化的推测。边境大学理解并解释学术政策和政策制度，将其作为通过控制社会运动的流程和转折点的技术来表达的一种毗邻实践。我们理论化的“边界U”以拉丁裔（im）移民社区的生活和贡献为中心。边境大学是通过反对优势边境大学的激进主义者而出现的。在推测边境大学和边境大学时，我们大量借鉴了托马斯·奈尔的运动本体论，边界理论和移民身份。用运动本体论重塑大学，为建立能够解决过去持续存在的问题的社会机构提供了新的可能性，
