One of the main problems of contemporary higher education on a global scale is the deficit of sufficient financial resources. Universities are financed from both public and private sources. Presently in Poland reforms of this financing are being discussed and implemented. This generates both economic and social consequences.

The example is an idea of common tuition fees.
