Abstract Introduction:The authors of this paper base their research on the following assumption: the development of both geragogic education (older adult education) and profession is conditioned by the existence of a study program of geragogy provided by departments of geragogy created at universities (as public institutions of higher education). The fact remains that a qualified training of geragogues is absent in the Slovak conditions. Purpose:When compiling a graduate profile, inclusive of a list of competences that a geragogue should possess, a range of specific local circumstances needs to be taken into consideration. Subsequently, it is necessary to define a position of a geragogue. Geragogue is a professional working in the field of senior education, just like a pedagogue or an adult educator work in their fields. It is also important to identify and accentuate the philosophical and social context in which these professionals are confronted with the demands of today’s society, in a form of a society based on knowledge, questions of the ongoing social changes and defining the meaning of life. Results:The task of creating the department and program of geragogy is formulated as a social demand of the time, debunking the current myth of the crisis of universities. In history, a university was a vital place where the values serving social integration emerged. It was also a practice field for the educators to train so they could spread these values and transform them into social skills. Conclusion:In the conclusion, the authors propose key areas of undergraduate training of geragogues, including the definition of institutional anchoring, with the goal to contribute to ongoing professional discussion and to creation of the department and the program of geragogy.

El trabajo de investigación que se reporta busca hacer observables los posibles cambios en las trayectorias y perfiles del personal académico que podían atribuirse a la aparición e implementación, en la mayor parte de las Instituciones de Educación Superior públicas del país, de programas que tenían como objetivo el mejoramiento de los perfiles formativos, de producción e inserción internacional de los académicos, y que emplearon diferentes mecanismos de evaluación, diferenciación de ingresos y apoyos a la continuación de su formación. A través de definir una periodización que reflejara la aparición y modificaciones de dichas medidas, la propuesta de una tipología de las instituciones de educación superior y la adopción de una forma de organizar la diversidad disciplinaria, se intentaron controlar analíticamente los efectos paralelos que estos aspectos pudieran tener en la variación de condiciones de trabajo y socialización de los académicos. Con esta forma de organizar la diversidad se analizaron la evolución formativa, la combinación de actividades, el uso del tiempo, las opiniones y los resultados reportados por los académicos del país en la encuesta aplicada en 2001. Finalmente, en el trabajo que se presenta se subrayan algunos de los logros, tensiones y riesgos que parecen derivarse de las lógicas coexistentes en los mecanismos impulsados, especialmente en los ámbitos del compromiso institucional y la renovación de la planta académica actual.AbstractThe work of investigation that is reported looks for making observable the possible changes in the trajectories and profiles of the academic personal that could be attributed to the appearance and implementation, in most of the public Institutions of Higher Education of the country, of programs which  had like objective the improvement of the formative profiles, of production and international insertion of the academics, and that used different mechanisms from evaluation, differentiation of income and supports to the continuation of their formation. Through defining a periodization that reflected the appearance and modifications of these measures, the proposal of a typology of the institutions of higher education and the adoption of a form to organize the disciplinary diversity, were tried analytically to control the parallel effects that these aspects could have in the variation of conditions of work and socialization of the academics. With this form to organize the diversity were analyzed the formative evolution, the combination of activities, the use of the time, the opinions and the results reported by the academics of the country in the survey applied in 2001. Finally, this work emphasizes some of the profits, tensions and risks that seem to derive themselves from the coexisting logics in the impelled mechanisms, especially in the scopes of the institutional commitment and the renovation of the present academic plant.

The Right

Problem setting. Leasing out property that is involved in educational, academic, training and production, scientific activities by the public institutions of higher education often leads to violation of the rights of other participants in educational activities. They are sure to be a result of violating the limits, established by the current legislation, of exercising the rights to leasing out property by the public institutions of higher educational. Analysis of recent researches and publications. The issues of state property lease have been studied by many scholars. Basic research in this area has been conducted by I. Spasibo-Fatieieva, O. Lipetsker, Ye.Kazarenko, V. Steshenko, M. Pronina, S. Puhinsky, T. Potapenkova, Yu.Basin, D. levenson, N. Khashchivska, N. Milovska and other scientists. Target of research. The aim of the paper is a comprehensive study and analysis of the limits of exercising the rights by the public institutions of higher education to leasing out their own property. To achieve this goal the following tasks should be solved: 1) to define the limits of exercising the rights by the public institutions of higher education to leasing out their own property; 2) to determine the legal consequences of concluding lease agreements by the public higher educational institutions in violation of current legislation. Article’s main body. The article conducts a general study and analysis of the right of the public institutions of higher education to lease property. The author emphasizes that public higher educational institutions have the right to lease out only real estate and other individually identified property. The legal consequences of concluding lease agreements by public higher educational institutions in violation of the current legislation have been studied. Conclusions and prospects for the development. Summarizing the results of the study we can formulate the following conclusions. The public institutions of higher education have the right to lease out real estate and other individually determined property in the manner prescribed by law and subject to statutory restrictions (without the right of redemption and sublease, when it does not worsen the social and living conditions of persons studying or working in the educational institution). While leasing the property, the public higher educational institution realizes primarily their own property interests, at the same time, indirectly realizing the property interests of the state. If the lease agreement of real estate and other individually determined property of higher educational institutions is recognized as invalid, it may be recognized as invalid only for the future.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to account for, and conceptualize, the internal and external forces that influence higher education business schools as they strive to integrate sustainability issues into their curricula in the effort to achieve a more sustainable (yet capitalist) world. Design/methodology/approach – A case study approach is used for the research, which is grounded in the relevant literature, to investigate sustainable development issues in the context of a Swedish business school (university level). The empirical data consists of a review of internal documents plus e-mail surveys and interviews and discussion seminars with university teachers/researchers and key administrators. Findings – Two tentative models are presented that map the various internal and external forces behind business schools’ curriculum change. One important finding describes how supply and demand influences business schools and recruiters of business students. Research limitations/implications – Because this research is based on a single case study, the analysis and the mapping in the paper are somewhat limited in their general applicability. However, the research context of the business school permits drawing conclusions that may apply to a broad class of colleges or departments in higher education. In addition, because the research is supported by significant ideas from the literature, general inferences may be drawn about business school curricula. Originality/value – The two tentative models provide a holistic framework that adds to the understanding of the composition and interrelationship of influential forces on business schools when major changes in curricula and their management are contemplated.

Purpose Each of Ventura County’s four public institutions of higher education list information literacy (IL) as either an institutional outcome or general education outcome for their students. Despite this, communication between the four campuses on this topic was limited. Librarians from these institutions applied to be part of the grant-funded Project ALAS Faculty Fellows Program to find ways to collaborate with each other and with teaching faculty to support the development of IL skills in transfer students. Design/methodology/approach Librarians from Ventura County’s four public institutions of higher education, with funding from the Project ALAS Faculty Fellows Program, held a one-day IL summit to bring librarians and teaching faculty together to unify objectives and create a seamless IL transition for transfer students. Findings Creating an opportunity for librarians and teaching faculty to discuss the definition and potential applications of IL in courses and assignments led to positive outcomes. Teaching faculty learned about library resources and took steps to begin collaborating with their campus librarian(s). Librarians also learned about different academic expectations in various disciplines, made new connections and made plans for future IL-focused collaborations. Originality/value Studies have demonstrated that IL is a key component to student transfer success. However, this is not an element in education that can be achieved by one department alone. The collaborative effort described in this paper can serve as a model for other librarians hoping to foster dialogue and cooperation amongst their regional institutions.

Selective Admissions

In September 1968 the Federal City College of Washington, D.C., opened its doors to its first freshman class. There were fifteen hundred students. Federal City College had, and has, an open admissions policy; it is the first and the only public institution of higher education serving the residents of our nation's capital city. Since by definition a resident of the District of Columbia fails to reside in any one of the fifty states, he fails to have access to any in the impressive array of these states' public institutions of higher education unless he can pay premium tuition as well as meet selective admissions criteria.
