The purpose of this study is to explore the way higher education institutions adapt to environmental pressures. These pressures can be represented either by various demands or by specific policies. Dropout policy is examined on a Czech case study in order to demonstrate that at the end of the day, higher education institutions respond mainly to the most pressing challenges of an economic nature in the most rational way. As a result, their traditional mission (teaching, research, the third mission), and mainly the social function of the higher education system, may be at stake. At the same time, this study illustrates how difficult it is to introduce any higher education policy without thorough evaluation of other policies in place and of various factors affecting institutional behaviour.

Artykuł dotyczy koncepcji tzw. trzeciej misji szkół wyższych, która obok kształcenia i prowadzenia badań naukowych staje się coraz ważniejszym wymiarem działalności akademickiej. Zasadniczym celem artykułu jest próba włączenia się w dyskusję dotyczącą zakresu pojęciowego trzeciej misji oraz jej znaczenia w działalności szkół wyższych dzięki krytycznej analizie literatury oraz prezentacji wyników badań własnych. Uzyskane wyniki wskazują, że rektorzy szkół wyższych podzielają zdanie autorki, która uważa, że trzecia misja oznacza wszystkie aktywności szkół wyższych dedykowane społecznościom lokalnym i regionalnym w obszarach: kształcenia, prowadzenia i udostępniania rezultatów badań naukowych, jak również wynikające z posiadania przez uczelnie określonych zasobów finansowych i rzeczowych. Ponadto, należy zauważyć, że aktywność uczelni w tym obszarze jest wyraźnie wyodrębniona w misjach i strategiach uczelni.

The paper discusses the concept of the third mission of higher education institutions (HEIs), which, besides education and scientific research, is becoming an increasingly important dimension of academic activity. The main aim of the paper is to contribute to the debate concerning the conceptual range of the third mission and its significance for HEIs` activities through a critical study of the literature and a presentation of the author’s own research. The results indicate that rectors share the author’s standpoint that the third mission covers all the HEIs` activities targeting local and regional communities in the fields of education, conducting and providing access to scientific research, as well as the activities resulting from HEIs’ financial and material resources. Apart from that, it is worth noticing that the third mission activities are explicitly outlined in the mission statements and strategies of HEIs.
