The Ethical Limits of Contemporary University Transformations?

The article raises the question of the ethical limits of contemporary university transformations. It is caused by a concern about the future development of the university, when on the one hand, the ongoing transformations are necessary as a response to the challenges of the new sociocultural reality and on the other hand, they harbor the menace of the loss of the university's specific character. The menace comes as a consequence of the fact that the university can no longer exist exclusively on the basis of the professor's professional culture. New economic conditions of the world (pragmatism, commercialization of all structures) have opened the doors for corporate culture. ow can the university sustain the balance of two cultures? The article proposes seeking an answer to this question in the sphere of university ethics.
