Normative Content

Violation of the regulations in force at the university is one of the basis of student’s disciplinary liability. The law does not specify a catalogue of these regulations, which contributed to discrepancies in the scientific works and jurisprudence of disciplinary commissions. The article aims to determine the normative content of this basis. The considerations include changes introduced by the Higher Education and Science Act, as well as statements of the representatives of science and jurisprudence. The analysis leads the author to the position that the considered basis includes the abovementioned Act, as well as the internal law of the university issued on its basis, in particular its statute and study regulations. Although internal acts can not be indicated exhaustively, in order to establish the disciplinary offence it is necessary to determine that the infringed obligation was legally binding for the student.

After several years of discussions on the future shape of higher education in Poland, both at the systemic and institutional level, on July 20, 2018, "The Law on Higher Education and Science," from now on referred to as the Law, was enacted. Together with a package of ordinances, this regulation broadened the autonomy of universities in terms of organization and management while substantiating the importance of their accountability. Strengthening the rector's authority resulted in a change in the perception of universities as dispersed organizations (Weick, 1976) towards compact organizations (Brunsson and Sahlin-Andersson, 2000). The authors noticed that the concept of the university, in line with the letter and spirit of the Law, does not pay due attention to the relations between university employees. Therefore, the article aims to present a proposal to implement the elements of the turquoise organization concept (Laloux, 2015), which is more and more often described in the scientific literature - and at the same time evokes extreme emotions - into an academic institution. The article indicates the unused, in the authors' opinion, possibilities of organizational and management changes created by the Law and describes selected features of the turquoise organization, relating them to an academic institution. It also compares the characteristics of a traditional university, entrepreneurial, and a university with a shade of turquoise. The research part analyzes interviews with deliberately selected employees of the Gdańsk University of Technology. During individual conversations, they expressed their opinions on new organizational and management solutions proposed by the article's co-author. In summary, an attempt was made to answer the question formulated in the title.

The aim of the presented analysis was to identify areas which are most affected by the change resulting from the reform of science and higher education in Poland. The source of this type of research is the Law on Higher Education and Science of July 20, 2018 and legal acts which, as a result of its adoption, are being repealed. Although the reform covers more entities than public universities, the new law on higher education introduces in their case the possibility of changing the system as a result of endogenous transformations. In addition to changes in the political system of the university, another area of change is the model of doctoral education, broader even the entire model of an academic career. The evaluation of the scientific activity and the financing of the university will have a different character.

The question whether the new Law on Higher Education and Science allows to regulate resumption of studies by universities themselves, in the rules on studies, should be resolved positively. However, this is only under assumption that such rules and decisions made based on them have an internal character. Resumption of studies does not lead to entering into a new legal relation between a former student and the university, but it only causes that the past relation is being reinstated. Therefore, the decision on resumption is made outside the procedure regulated in the Code on administrative procedure and it also falls outside the control of administrative courts. De lege ferenda, resumption of studies should be regulated in the Law on Higher Education and Science to strengthen the right of persons applying for resumption. In particular, such regulation ought to require a decision on resumption of studies to have a form of an administrative decision.

Abstract This report will discuss the process of evaluation for development in a collaborative project that integrated teaching between the Language Centre and the Law School at the University of Eastern Finland. The focus of this report will be on a model the authors devised for the purposes of developing teaching, called E.A.S.Y, Empowering Actors, Stakeholders and You (in Finnish: kehitysriihi), with its Nutshell Poster. The interactive and participatory model draws on the principles of evaluation for development instead of evaluation of development, steering away from the emphasis on making judgments, and exemplifies a novel, resource-efficient method for curriculum development in higher education in a manner that facilitates agency and implements the principles of a learning organisation. The authors propose that the model, albeit in the example project used within the context of Higher Education, could be widely adapted into other contexts, too.

The Law on Higher Education and Science of 20 July 2018, entered into force on 1 October 2018, introduced changes concerning the prerequisites for the acquisition of the academic title of professor and the procedure for awarding it. The stage of proceedings before the board of an organisational unit (e.g. Faculty Council) was also abandoned, which in fact led the procedure beyond the ‘walls of the university’ and limited it to the stage of proceedings before the Council of Scientific Excellence. The author considers selected issues relating to the Professor’s academic title, concerning the premise for awarding it, the course of the proceedings in this subject and the entities taking part in them, as well as the role played by the President of the Republic of Poland in these proceedings. As a result of the considerations conducted, the author assumed that the most far-reaching change was the legislator’s resignation from the stage of proceedings before the council of the entity from which the candidate for the title of professor had come from, assuming that the role of the President of the Republic of Poland in this process had not undergone any significant changes. He remains bound by the opinions of the reviewers appointed by the Council of Scientific Excellence and its position expressed in the administrative decision issued on the application for the academic title. In accordance with the viewpoint of the author, due to the resignation of the legislator from the stage of proceedings before an individual’s council, the opinions of the reviewers expressed in the justification of the Council of Scientific Excellence decision are now, in principle, the only emanation of the assessment of the scientific community expressed in this procedure.

Background. For many years, the Polish style of managing universities was based on the Humboldtian model of higher education and the assumption of academic self-government that decides in a collegial manner. Simultaneously, “Ustawa 2.0” (The Law on Higher Education and Science of 20 July 2018) significantly changed the way of managing universities. The state authorities noticed that the hermetic academic environment must become open toward the socioeconomic sphere, cooperate with it, and enable universities to professionalize their management. Research aims. This article seeks to learn the criteria of appointing members to university councils in Poland from the perspective of Ustawa 2.0 and those people who were directly or indirectly engaged in choosing the councils’ members. In the light of this goal, I had to capture the solutions introduced by Ustawa 2.0 from the perspective of changes that occurred in the university management in Poland. Methodology. I used a mixed methodology to conduct this study. To that end, I analyzed the contents of Ustawa 2.0 and particularly focused on articles about appointing members to the councils. Additionally, I analyzed twenty statutes of Polish universities singled out by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education in the first edition of the competition “Excellence Initiative – Research University.” Moreover, I interviewed seven people in university management positions who were engaged in appointing members to university councils (among others, a rector and a vice-rector). Findings. Although university councils operate in many countries, they are a novelty in the structures of the higher education institution (HEI) management system in Poland. The role and competencies of the councils are broad, and they practically influence how Polish universities operate. The conducted research showed that the appointment of members to the university councils follows the universal rules specified in the Ustawa 2.0 and, partially, in the statutes of universities. The law indicates that university council members should be persons respected in the academic environment, who know the mission and values of a given university.

In the process of modernizing the national higher education, the emphasis on the need to form a culture of academic integrity in the university environment has become one of the key trends, as evidenced by the provisions of the Law of Ukraine "On Higher Education" (2014), the Law of Ukraine "On Education" (2017, ), The Law of Ukraine "On Scientific and Scientific-Technical Activity" (2016) and other documents. The formation of a culture of research integrity in the university environment is intended to overcome the crisis of academic integrity, which is observed today in Ukraine and is caused by many factors. An analysis of the experience of the UK as one of the world-leading leaders of higher education in support of research integrity in the system of university governance is relevant to determine the guidelines in the process of forming a culture of research integrity. The purpose of the article is to identify positive experience in providing research integrity in the university environment for its possible implementation in the system of higher education of Ukraine. To achieve this goal, the methods of analysis, synthesis, comparison, systematization of scientific and Internet sources were used, which allowed to identify the peculiarities of supporting research integrity in the system of research management in the universities of Great Britain. The application of the generalization method made it possible to draw conclusions about the results of the study. The article substantiates the relevance of the analysis of experience in support of research integrity in the system of university governance of one of the world-leading leaders of higher education - Great Britain. The experience of maintaining high ethical standards in studies in the UK at the national and institutional levels has been analyzed. The main provisions of the key documents developed by the British Research Aid Office, which can be used to develop policies and procedures at Ukrainian universities, are described. Summarizing the information provided by leading UK universities to provide research integrity at the institutional level, it has made it possible to distinguish the following features: the existence of clear, open policies and procedures for ensuring research integrity, their continuous improvement; transparency and accountability of procedures for adhering to the principles of integrity in research; creation of opportunities in the university environment for training and professional development of researchers on the issue of research integrity; University collaboration with partner institutions both at the national and international levels.

The conditions are investigated in which Spanish university teachers carry out their teaching and research functions. 655 teachers from the University of Oviedo took part in this study by completing the Academic Setting Evaluation Questionnaire (ASEQ). Of the three dimensions assessed in the ASEQ, Satisfaction received the lowest ratings, Social Climate was rated higher, and Relations with students was rated the highest. These results are similar to those found in two studies carried out in the academic years 1986/87 and 1989/90. Their relevance for higher education is twofold because these data can be used as a complement of those obtained by means of students' opinions, and the crossing of both types of data can facilitate decision making in order to improve the quality of the work (teaching and research) of the university institutions.

For over two centuries, the College was the characteristic form of higher education in the United States, and the College was closely allied to the church in a predominantly Protestant land. The university became the characteristic form of American higher education starting in the late nineteenth Century, and universities long continued to reflect the nation's Protestant culture. By about 1900, however, Catholics and Jews began to enter universities in increasing numbers. What was the experience of Jewish students in these institutions, and how did authorities respond to their appearance? These questions will be addressed in this article by focusing on the Jewish presence at the University of Illinois in the early twentieth Century. Religion, like a red thread, is interwoven throughout the entire fabric of this story.
