Difficult Times

In 2003–2005, the Police Academy was in the process of losing its academic status as a centre designed to prepare police executives. According to the adopted assumptions, the Academy was to become an institution preparing police personnel at the basic and specialist levels. In May 2004, the new Commandant-Rector, on the basis of opinions of the police community, research conducted in the Academy, and his own experience in service in various police units, prepared a plan to maintain the status of a university, and develop the university as a training and scientifi c centre. Thanks to the enormous work done by the school personnel and police offi cers from all over the country supporting the Academy, and thanks to the support obtained from many scientifi c centres, the programme was implemented very quickly. Comprehensive assistance was also obtained from the regional authorities and Members of Parliament from all political backgrounds. The Police Academy in Szczytno as a public service university was included in the new Higher Education Act. After a few months, the effects of these undertakings prompted the management of the Ministry of the Interior and Administration, and the National Police Headquarters to make a decision on granting the school a new statute appropriate for a higher education institution, restoring university structures and enrolling new students for previously suspended undergraduate studies for police offi cers. All of the undertakings encountered unprecedented interest.

The Higher Education Act is a long-awaited legal act. A number of uncompleted attempts to prepare it have been undertaken in the course of the last three years. So far without success. Having been and still being a matter of highest social priority, the renewed effort to create and subsequently to enact this act is welcome as a worthwhile and a highly productive endeavor. Welcome also are the main innovations offered by this act, particularly its conspicuous consistency with the Bologna Declaration and other internationally launched and accepted documents. The draft act follows the international documents tracing down the paths of the future development of the educational systems of the European countries and providing for their mutual compatibility. A number of other positive contributions of the draft act are singled out, such as introducing clear and rigorous criteria and procedures for accreditation and quality control, introducing a wide coverage of arts and sciences as a precondition for an institution of higher education to qualify as a university, flexibility in the regime of studying including the domestic and international mobility of the students and requirement for the schools of higher education to have large cores of permanently employed teaching staff. A much larger part of the paper is, however, devoted to critical commentaries. To begin with, the draft is produced without any participation of the private universities, which is seen as a form of discrimination. The organizational pattern of a university is laid out with insufficient clarity and the status of departments (faculties) is particularly short of precision and even contradictory. The draft seems to be laden with the old bias towards excessive and potentially disastrous centralization, drastically reducing the decision making capacity of the system. The treatment of the property of the departments (faculties) is found inconsistent and legally unfounded. Inconsistency is also revealed in a number of prerogatives of the university vis-a-vis its departments and vice versa.

Academic Teacher

The subject of this Article is the offi cial position of the commandant of the Police Academy in Szczytno. In contrast, the author’s aim is to present the process of shaping the special attributes of this position, which is the status of an academic teacher. The article presents the se quence of organisational and legal changes to which the academic institution in Szczytno has been subject since 1972, as well as their impact on combining the status of academic teacher with the position of commandant of the Police Academy in Szczytno. The author comes to the conclusion that the process, which led to combining the status of an academic teacher with the position of the commandant rector of the Police Academy in Szczytno, was extremely tedious. This outcome was achieved only in 2018, i.e. almost fifty years after the unit in Szczytno obtained the status of a higher school. In the author’s opinion, it is an appropriate solution, because it fulfi lls the postulate of uniformity and systemic cohesion. Thanks to this, the legal situation of the rector of a higher education institution subordinate to the minister responsible for internal affairs was equated in the discussed scope to the situation of rectors of military higher education institutions and other rectors of public higher education institutions. In the opinion of the author, linking the position of the rector of a government service higher education institution with the status of academic teacher is also benefi cial for the institution itself and the person holding this offi ce. The author emphasises that the officers appointed to the position of commandant rector will be able to carry out scientifi c research activities and educate scientifi c staff in the institution they manage as academic teachers. A higher education institution may, in turn, list them and include their scientifi c output in the lists and reports required to be prepared as part of the procedures for the assessment of the quality of education provided by the institution and for the evaluation and categorisation of its scientifi c activities.

In the Slovak Republic, on the basis of legislative conditions, the Higher Education Act does not give the possibility to direct the management of public higher education institutions towards the fulfillment of their goals and thus to adapt effectively to the current situation and challenges. This is characterized by processes and structures that are duplicate, problematic or ambivalent, which ultimately prevents public higher education institutions from autonomously receiving and fulfilling their mission. It is therefore important that alternative management trends are introduced into the governance structures to help the development of public higher education institutions. We consider the use of marketing strategic management as such an element. Thus, the use of this type of management can ultimately benefit the university in the form of the required number of pupils. It can also contribute to improving the quality and supply of education, information and information.
