Summary/Abstract: This article discusses the ways in which the media have presented crisis situations. It aims to elaborate on situations with the highest level of risk at selected universities and tertiary institutions. This includes situations in which human life has been threatened and corruption has been involved. Bearing in mind selected case studies: the death of students during hazing at the University of Science and Technology in Bydgoszcz and grant wangling at both Wrocław and AGH Universities of Science and Technology, the authors employ the symbolism of the Ten Commandments. In particular the pay attention to two of the commandments – thou shalt not kill and thou shalt not steal. Presented research is based on the concept of post-truth.
