OK, but you need to figure out a way to take over the universities then because scientists are also animals who need food and shelter etc. etc. and depend on grants, stipends, and salaries to buy those things.
I'm not saying this to be dismissive - I'm strongly in favor of faculties organizing to unseat administrators from their privileged positions. It's baffling to me that bright minds on campuses complain at length about the state of higher education but seem oddly averse to doing anything about it.

Exactly. These rent-seeking gate keepers should be sent to the dustbin of history where they belong
Who says we need to convince them? How about we leave them behind? They are rentiers, gatekeeping society's access to publicly funded scientific knowledge. I can't think of a reason why society should allow this hostage situation to continue.
