ON SOME TEMPTATIONS OF UNIVERSITY TEACHING AND SCIENCE TODAY

Summary/Abstract: This review considers one of the secondary components of the process of globalization in modern geo-political circumstances, which has a great influence on the order of traditional moral values. These are by-products of the higher education „reform“ in the countries of the former Yugoslavia, and mostly in the Republic of Srpska as one of the two equal state-building entities in post-Dayton Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia, which was carried out under the guise of implementation of the so-called Bologna process. The author, in fact, phenomenologically monitors and describes the phenomenon of selling and buying diplomas, master’s, MS and doctoral degrees and titles, which is one of the „most transparent“ manifestations of consciously and purposefully misunderstood and implemented Bologna Declaration, but also other contents and forms of corruption in that sphere. In Republic of Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and even in Serbia, this phenomenon has taken on pathological features and dimensions to such an extent that it significantly determines and influences the overall social entropy in those countries, and especially on the discrediting of university teaching and science, the moral substance of society and a completely different normal development of social relations. The author states that the diplomas trade is so „networked“ and influential that it will take several decades of well-thought-out and systemic social action to eliminate some of its negative consequences.
