Summary/Abstract: Trust does not only affect higher education from a general organizational-community perspective. Students’ motivation for higher education, organizational solutions promoted by maintainers and policy-makers and mechanisms have a direct impact on university performance, even at a ‘material’ level. Based on empirical research, this study analyzes that Hungarian higher education has high level of public confidence, but that the international outlook indicates that the political polarization of society may also affect the perception of universities, as happened in the USA. The analysis of higher education admission and application data demonstrates the stability of student demand, while the acceptance of higher education policy priorities is only partially affects applicants. The application of the principle of trust in higher education management leads to more effective solutions than bureaucratic and mistrust-based overregulation, which is also illustrated by an alternative model.
