As members of the secret Afrikaner organisation, the Broederbond, two of the apartheid-era rectors at the University of Fort Hare were responsible for leading an institution that was supposed to spearhead the modernisation of ethnically defined homelands and their transition to independent states, whilst disseminating apartheid values among the black students. Based on unsorted and unarchived documents located in the personal files of the apartheid-era rectors, which included secret correspondence and memoranda of clandestine meetings, this paper illustrates the attempted exercise of hegemony by the apartheid state through its linked network with the university administration during the period 1960 to 1990. This is achieved by demonstrating the interaction between the state, Broederbond rectors and the black students at Fort Hare, who were subjected to persuasion and coercion as dictated by the state’s apartheid vision of a racially defined and separated society.

The paper argues about the role of higher education not only in terms of knowledge transfer andacquisition of vocational skills among young people, that is, the creation of qualified human capital  for the needs of the economy, but also in terms of implementation of the educational role of the university, one currently underrated. It is aimed at the education of creative, open-minded, responsible graduates, capable of understanding a dynamically changing reality, able to adapt to changes flexibly, and accept responsibility for their own development. The article presents an example of good practices in the field of comprehensive student support in higher education as developed by the University of Dąbrowa Górnicza. This approach, in addition to improving the professional potential of students, is also focused on forming their values, goals, attitudes and beliefs which will significantly affect their behavior and the way they use the acquired knowledge in the future.

The article was prepared on the basis of a field study implemented at Udmurt State University as a part of the research project “Transitive University in the Face of Global, National, and Regional Challenges”. The article considers the results of a survey related to the assessment by the teaching staff of the ways of interacting with regional subjects of the social order. 75% of respondents acknowledge the risks associated with educational and labor migration of young people from the Udmurt Republic. Professors mainly form competencies within the framework of the regular educational process: they select the topics of students’ term papers and graduate work in accordance with the needs of the region, take into account the needs of the labor market in the content of classes, participate in the organization of practices and help students to find employment in the regional labor market. According to professors, the most important role of the university is to participate in the development of the region along with large organizations and branches of government. A cooperative approach prevails, in which the university plays the role of a partner, not a driver. Professors rated the interaction of the university administration with state authorities of the Udmurt Republic as satisfactory – the average score was 3.1 points out of 5. Prospects for the development of the university are seen by the professors in four directions: orientation to the regional labor market, interaction with employers; scientific and innovative activities; digitalization and informatization of educational and administrative processes; development of international cooperation. Pessimism prevails in the responses of professors about the hopes for cooperation with authorities and business in the region, which requires a separate study, since it can be caused by a number of factors. As suggestions to the leadership of the university, the professors indicated: the need for more active interaction between the university administration and the leadership of the region and business, involving the university in regional projects, identifying the needs of the region and stimulating the leadership of institutions to form new directions in the scientific and educational sector, taking into account the prospects for the development of the republic. The study revealed two obvious facts. Firstly, professors are aware of the important role of the university and even support this idea as a strategic one. In other words, they show willingness. Secondly, professors, most likely, expect the initiative of active interaction with the labor market and regional authorities from the leadership of the university. In other words, they do not translate preparedness into action, awaiting action on the part of management.

In the context of global competition, attracting and retaining talent is the most important common goal of universities and cities. Universities have long played an important role in the competitiveness of cities, regions and the country as a whole, as they contribute to the accumulation of human capital. The interaction of the city and the university can be observed from the time of their formation. In this paper, the authors considered a parallel analysis of the development (evolution) of two different socio-economic systems such as the university and the city from antiquity to the present. Based on this analysis, we can conclude that universities have played a significant role in the development of cities, and cities, in turn, have led to the emergence and development of universities. The role of universities was that they were both centers of education and centers of research. It was within the framework of universities that the results of scientific research appeared, which moved cities up in evolution.

The Lascivious Costume Ball, a sexuality-themed and institutionally authorized party that took place at the University of Chicago from 1970 to 1984, began as a form of student rebellion. Yet within a few years it was diluted and managed by the university administration. Stripped of its initial transgressive character, the Lascivious Costume Ball had been integrated into the legitimate routines of the University as a representation of its institutional identity. This article uses the Lascivious Costume Ball as a case study to examine how organizations respond to potentially threatening oppositional action marshaled by their constituents. Drawing on an analysis of archival materials and 69 interviews with administrators, faculty, and alumni associated with the University at the time of the Ball, I argue that spatiotemporal context crucially shaped administrators’ approach to the event and hence its transformation. This article (1) illuminates the importance of relationality in shaping organizational responses to oppositional action; (2) introduces a new mechanism, organizational absorption, whereby organizations manage and defuse such action; and (3) suggests a fresh appreciation for the role of organizational identity in the management of disruption.

Nowadays, the Industry 4.0 concept affects every area of the industrial, economic, social and personal sectors. The most significant changings are the automation and the digitalization. This is also true for the material handling processes, where the handling systems use more and more automated machines; planning, operation and optimization of different logistic processes are based on many digital data collected from the material flow process. However, new methods and devices require new solutions which define new research directions. In this paper we describe the state of the art of the material handling researches and draw the role of the UMi-TWINN partner institutes in these fields. As a result of this H2020 EU project, scientific excellence of the University of Miskolc can be increased and new research activities will be started.

Accurate pronunciation has a vital role in English language learning as it can help learners to avoid misunderstanding in communication. However, EFL learners in many contexts, especially at the University of Phan Thiet, still encounter many difficulties in pronouncing English correctly. Therefore, this study endeavors to explore English-majored students’ perceptions towards the role of pronunciation in English language learning and examine their pronunciation practicing strategies (PPS). It involved 155 English-majored students at the University of Phan Thiet who answered closed-ended questionnaires and 18 English-majored students who participated in semi-structured interviews. The findings revealed that students strongly believed in the important role of pronunciation in English language learning; however, they sometimes employed PPS for their pronunciation improvement. Furthermore, the results showed that participants tended to use naturalistic practicing strategies and formal practicing strategies with sounds, but they overlooked strategies such as asking for help and cooperating with peers. Such findings could contribute further to the understanding of how students perceive the role of pronunciation and their PPS use in the research’s context and other similar ones.
