Having Nothing but Questions? The Social Discourse on Higher Education Institutions' Legitimation Crisis

摘要


Recently, several expectations have been raised towards higher education institutions (HEIs). These expectations are about the roles HEIs should play and responsibilities they should have in society. This article focuses on three different responses. The first section touches upon the organisational template of the entrepreneurial university concerning the economic role of HEIs. Secondly, issues of teaching and present HEIs' attempts to respond to the expectations in relation to human value creation are discussed. Thirdly, social engagement and open science is investigated as a response to the question of societal value creation. Finally, in connection with these topics, the article touches upon the possible consequences of organisational homogeneity and heterogeneity to HE in general.
