The understanding of academic freedom is the key to analyse both the essence as well as the functioning of the western university. Scientists and publicists, on one hand point out that the idea of academic freedom lies in the heart of political and academic struggle for the future of the university, on the other hand they agree that this freedom needs to be protected. In this article I attempt to answer numerous questions concerning the essence of the university including: What is freedom and what are its forms in the view of the commercialization of the market of educational services and research?

Rozumienie wolności akademickiej stanowi klucz do przeanalizowania zarówno istoty, jak i funkcjonowania zachodniego uniwersytetu. Naukowcy, publicyści wskazują, z jednej strony, że pojęcie wolności akademickiej znajduje się w sercu politycznej i akademickiej walki o przyszłość uniwersytetu, z drugiej zaś, że należy ją chronić. W artykule próbuję odpowiedzieć na wiele pytać dotyczących istoty uniwersytetu m.in.: Czym zatem jest wolność, jakie są jej formy w aspekcie komercjalizacji rynku usług edukacyjnych oraz badań?

The purpose of this article is to confi rm that the length of freedom of science and teaching legal warranty period, as well as the autonomy of the universities in a country, have contributed to the highlevel research. In order to achieve this purpose, constitutional provisions, ordinary legislation and constitutional courts’ judgments were examined. The hypothesis has been verifi ed positively on the basis of normative acts analysis, from a historical and comparative perspective, on the sample of six European countries. The countries for the study were selected according to the scientific performance ranking of European universities.

The aim of the article is to analyse various contexts of passion perceived as an important com- ponent of researcher’s identity. First, passion is confronted with the concept if rationality which dominates the university thinking about research. Second, passion is considered in relations to in- trinsic and extrinsic motivation. Next, the author concentrates attention on factors which limit the passion development: present commercialization of research as well as their permanent indexation and evaluation, re-locating the researcher’s energy on permanent reporting and detailed juridization of academic reality. At the end the possibility of passion in contemporary research is optimistically confirmed by the idea of academic community and academic freedom.

According to intelligent design theory, certain biological and cosmic phenomena were designed by an intelligent being, which could be just as well natural and supernatural. This design is to be scientifically detectable in basically similar fashion as in the case of the effects of the purposeful activity of man. However, critics pose an objection that unscientific character of this theory is discernible in that it is not useful for science because it does not inspire new scientific research and thus it is stopping the progress of science. It is claimed that this theory could easily explain any phenomenon, referring to the category of „intelligent design”, and in this case the word „explanation” has ironic overtone. It is indicated also that proponents of intelligent design theory do not publish the results of their research in renowned scientific journals. This objection could be answered in twofold way: methodological and sociological in character. According to the first answer, science does not depend solely on inspiring new research but also on offering a new view of the known facts, and the design conclusion could be made and justified independently of whether it enables to gain knowledge of its maker or method of its accomplishment. The second answer is that development of novel theories is in large degree hampered by the resistance of the defenders of an orthodox theory, and of established understanding of science, who basically do not display tolerance for revolutionary theories. The mechanisms such as the procedure of reviewing of articles or financing of research projects system, controlled by the defenders of status quo, are of great importance in that case. The chances to receive the grants which could facilitate and accelerate the development of a new, going against the status quo theory, as well as to publish articles inspired by this theory in recognized scientific journals are minuscule, and the change of such situation requires the change of the preference pattern in the world of science.

The purpose of this article is to analyse the changes in the conditions of academic freedom that occurred over the last several decades and to point out the possible ramifications of those changes. Firstly, the author begins by depicting the origins and the meaning of the neohumanistic modern idea of academic freedom and with outlining some of its paradoxes and limitations. Secondly, the classical neohumanistic concept of academic freedom is juxtaposed with new premises of economic neoliberalism, as diagnosed by Michel Foucault. Also the consequences of economic legitimisation of political order for academic freedom are drawn. Ultimately, the author concentrates on the results of economic limitations of freedom for free thinking and its relationship with human moral judgements.

The subject of this article is the analysis of selected institutional activities, including drafts of legislative initiatives and social actions that took place between 2018 and 2020 at Polish universities (and outside of them). Its goal is to define what can be expressed, who is entitled to speak within the academic realm and what can be said by an academic teacher or scientist during a public debate. These social actions and legislative initiatives are discussed in the broader context of activities of social movements having a clear ideological face (either left- or right-wing), protests against lectures, debates organised at universities that were labelled as “ideological”, as well as projects intended to promote specific visions of academic freedom along with corresponding regulations for universities.

Wychodząc od teorii postrzegania praw człowieka i wolności podstawowych, artykuł identyfikuje rodzaje naruszeń wolności akademickiej w polskich szkołach wyższych oraz cechy nauczycieli akademickich i typ uczelni, których te naruszenia najczęściej dotyczą. W opracowaniu zostały wykorzystane podstawowe miary statystyki opisowej, a także metoda najmniejszych kwadratów. Badanie ujawnia, że bardziej pozytywnie postrzegają realizację wolności akademickiej nauczyciele akademiccy zatrudnieni na stanowisku profesora i profesora uczelni. Natomiast w największym stopniu naruszenia odczuwają osoby zajmujące niższe stanowiska z długim stażem pracy. Nauczyciele akademiccy zatrudnieni w uczelniach o długiej tradycji kształcenia pozytywniej odczuwają realizację wolności akademickiej niż ich koledzy zatrudnieni w uczelniach o krótkiej tradycji kształcenia.

Stemming from the theory of the perception of human rights, the article identifies the main types of violations of academic freedom in Polish universities, the features of scientists, and the type of university the most often affected by these violations. The methods involve basic descriptive statistics measures and ordinary least squares regression. The study reveals that perceived academic freedom is higher for full professors or university professors than for assistant professors. The highest violations are felt by scientists holding lower academic positions but with long work experience. Academics employed at universities with a long tradition of education perceive the implementation of academic freedom more positively than their colleagues employed at universities with a short tradition of education.

In the 21st century universities (especially public ones) must compete for the limited financial resources. Therefore activity of the universities had to face some kind of civic and administrative control to ensure the right use of public money. At the same time there is no acceptance for direct and expended control which might challenge the institutional autonomy. This paper presents an overview of some attempts to reconcile the needs of autonomy and accountability. The solutions and conceptualizations tested in European higher education systems are the starting point for the analysis of the relation between autonomy and accountability in Poland and the challenges yet to be faced.

PL

W XXI wieku uczelnie, zwłaszcza publiczne, muszą konkurować o ograniczone zasoby finansowe. Z tego względu swoboda ich działania musiała zostać poddana społecznej i administracyjnej kontroli, tak by władze publiczne i społeczeństwo miały pewność co do właściwego wydatkowania finansów publicznych. Jednocześnie odrzucana jest koncepcja nadmiernej bezpośredniej ingerencji, która podważyłaby zasadę autonomii uczelni. Artykuł stanowi przegląd różnych prób pogodzenia autonomii i wymogów roliczalności. Rozwiązania i koncepcje opracowane w europejskich systemach szkolnictwa wyższego stanowią także punkt wyjścia analizy relacji pomiędzy autonomią a rozliczalnością w Polsce.

The subject of the current article is the analysis of select institutional activities, including drafts of legislative initiatives and social actions, that took place during 2018-2020 at Polish universities (and outside of them), aiming at defining of what can be expressed, who is entitled to speak within the realm of academy – and what can be said by an academic teacher or scientist during public debate. These social actions and legislative initiatives are discussed in the broader context of activities of social movements having clear ideological face (either left- or rightwing), protests against lectures and debates organised at universities that were labelled as „ideological” ones, as well as projects intending to promote specific visions of academic freedom along with corresponding regulations for universities.

Przedmiotem analizy w niniejszym tekście są wybrane działania instytucjonalne i akcje społeczne, podejmowane w latach 2018-2020 w Polsce na uczelniach i poza nimi, mające na celu ustalenie, co i komu można mówić w ramach akademii oraz co może mówić uczony zabierający głos w debacie publicznej. Wybrane inicjatywy społeczne i ustawodawcze na gruncie polskim omówione zostają w szerszym kontekście: aktywności ruchów społecznych o wyraźnym obliczu ideowym (lewicowych i prawicowych), sprzeciwów wobec organizowania na uczelniach wykładów i debat o charakterze uznanym za „ideologiczny”, inicjatyw na rzecz wolności debaty na uczelniach.

Freedom of speech as an important human right is diminished when speaking out for Palestinian rights. The paper examines this assertion through three case examples from Australia. These are academic freedom, media freedom and freedom of political representation and expression. To provide context to the free speech debates, an overview is presented of the conflict as well as an outline of the Boycott, Divestments and Sanctions campaign.

Wolność słowa jako ważne prawo człowieka zostaje ograniczona, gdy przemawia się za prawami Palestyńczyków. W artykule przeanalizowano powyższe twierdzenie na podstawie trzech przykładów przypadków z Australii. Są to: wolność akademicka, wolność mediów oraz wolność reprezentacji politycznej i wypowiedzi. W celu zapewnienia kontekstu debatom na temat wolności słowa przedstawiono przegląd konfliktu, a także zarys bojkotu oraz kampanii sankcji.
