Deklaracja społecznej odpowiedzialności uczelni jako wzmocnienie etosu akademickiego
Higher Education in Poland and the CSR Declaration as Reinforcement of Academic Ethos

Summary/Abstract: On 16 November 2017, 23 Polish higher education institutions signed a CSR Declaration. The declaration includes twelve points stipulating the principles related to CSR in higher education. The reasons for the growing significance of the concept of CSR in higher education can be attributed to the diminishing importance of academic ethos. The values that constitute academic ethos should be a guiding light for activities undertaken by universities, so their diminishing significance is a cause for concern. Developing the concept of CSR in higher education is an opportunity to keep these values alive. The article explores the values common for academic ethos and CSR in the Higher Education Declaration. The analysis leads to the conclusion that the popularisation of the concept of CSR in higher education has been reinforced by the declaration, which largely refers to academic ethos.
