Zróżnicowanie uczelni a ich społeczna odpowiedzialność. Studium porównawcze stron internetowych uniwersytetów i państwowych szkół zawodowych
PublicationBrak wyraźnej dywersyfikacji misji polskich uczelni powoduje, że niemal wszystkie aspirują do polskiej ‘ligi bluszczowej’, nie mając odpowiednich zasobów kadrowych, aparaturowych i finansowych. Jednym z celów reformy szkolnictwa wyższego wprowadzanej od 1 października 2018 r. jest większe zróżnicowanie uczelni. Ważnym elementem misji każdej uczelni jest, zdaniem autorów artykułu, jej społeczna odpowiedzialność, o której pojawiło...
