Using data from a Master's of Public Administration (MPA) program at a Mid-western regional university in the United States, this paper studies whether Learning Management Systems (LMS) have equivalent outputs relative to more traditional educational delivery systems. In essence, are current generation LMS, used for online only instruction, equivalent to traditional teaching models when examining race and gender? This study examined certain output criteria using regression analysis and found no statistically significant difference between online and on-ground students in terms of their MPA degree GPA. However, African American student performance was relatively weaker than non-African American students in terms of GPA regardless of whether they were admitted into the online or on-ground program. This finding is consistent with other studies examining on-ground only performance. We posit that this difference was caused by their lower grades before they entered into this master's program. To combat the gap, fair grading is a good but not sufficient practice, and additional resources and remedial approaches should be in place in order to better prepare African American students as competitive as other racial groups.

Opinion provides an analysis of the admissibility of appeal against the activities of organizational units in relation to the reviewers who do not comply with the statutory deadlines for the preparation of the assessment of scientific achievements. Despite significant negative consequences of the review’s delay to the person pursuing a PhD degree or habilitation there are no legal instruments to ensure the fulfillment of the reviewers obligation to prepare the review within the statutory time limit. The current legal situation requires legislative intervention, because university employees are obligated to obtain a PhD degree within eight years from the date of employment, as a condition of further work at the university. Therefore real guarantees of the conduct of habilitation procedure in the statutory deadlines are necessary.

The American system of higher education is admired around the world, both for its quality and diversity. Despite criticisms that are sometimes directed toward U.S. universities, they are regarded as models by many institutions elsewhere around the world. Ukraine is undergoing a dramatic transition in its higher education system. Previously reliant entirely on the government, Ukrainian universities now face declining government funding and are being encouraged to develop alternative sources of support. At the same time, strengthening higher education is viewed as a critical national strategy for growth in a global economy based on information technology. In this time of change, many universities are seeking to emulate higher education in the United States, especially with regard to the development of philanthropic support. Ukraine has also got deeply rooted giving traditions, which we find useful to understand in order to determine how or whether to adapt successful national practices, combined with progressive American experience, to our contemporary situation in higher education. Thus, the following paper introduces definitions of the key terms used in the research, and analyses their etymology as well as the way they relate to each other in an integrated whole. The establishment of common definitions is a criterion of science. The fields of institutional advancement and educational fundraising have yet to achieve such commonality, and although the paper does not resolve that problem, it offers some important distinctions. In the paper the author provides an overview of the historical tendencies and models of philanthropic giving in Ukrainian society that shed the light on why people give and on the factors and processes that influenced that behavior. Moreover, the timeline of key philanthropic events in Ukraine that refer to patronage of education and culture, beginning with the Paleolithic age up to the present days, is compiled; and the list of benefactors, set in their social context, in each of the specified periods is presented in the paper. Furthermore, the paper places contemporary educational fundraising in the context of history. It is not only a history of philanthropy, but rather a brief history of organized fundraising in Ukraine. Eventually, the focus is on the actual state of fundraising practices in the national system of higher education. The evolution of the professional field and the prospects for the development of educational fundraising as a tool to diversify sources of extramural support for university, in the context of neoliberal ideology of modern educational reforms, are discussed.

Higher education institutions are an essential, endogenous element of economic development and take part in resolving global issues. Their utilitarian role, however, may be greatly limited as a result of improper ways of financing science and didactics. The prevailing mechanism of financing didactics in public universities in Polish reality does not ensure the effectiveness of deployed resources and only partially bases on competition, thus not generating the stimuli for positive changes. The algorithm on the basis of which the resources are allocated should be modified. It should be based on criteria reflecting changes in social and economic surroundings. It should also comprise mechanisms stimulating competition between universities and enhancing the quality of didactics and science.

The relevance of the article due to the fact that higher education in the third millennium is one of the most important factors for successful development of society, the necessary condition for sustainable competitive professional level personality matched due to the acquisition of knowledge and skills to provide employment, higher incomes, better working conditions. One of the forms in which higher education responds to the opportunities and challenges of globalization is internationalization. The documents which cover the international cooperation of universities and creating European Higher Education are analyzed. There are four strategies of internationalization of higher education: a coordinated approach; a strategy to attract qualified workforce; an income strategy; an empowerment strategy. The following goals are systematized: academic – the internationalization of the courses; organization of foreign training of the teachers, students, researchers, organization and participation of the teachers, students and researchers in the international conferences; international competitiveness and reputation of these schools; economic – University internationalization of economic activity: exports of educational and research services; attracting foreign students; foreign branch organization; implementation of distance learning programs; attraction of international grants for research activities. The multilevel nature of the process of internationalization of higher education is studied: international, national, university, individual. The predictions of cooperation between higher education institutions of the franchise, the program – «twins», mutual recognition of training programs are grounded. The author has determined internationalization as a factor in creating new opportunities and increasing the accessibility of higher education and its quality, innovative methods in higher education systems, strengthening international cooperation. The prospects for further research can be a problem of innovations in higher education, comparative analysis of the legal framework of European and Ukrainian higher education, complexity and discipline between the educational services, the intensification of international trade in educational services.

This article presents the results of a UNESCO project that focused on gender mainstreaming higher education curriculum. It deals with some critical issues involved in addressing the problem: what type of gender should be mainstreamed, who should do it, how can it be done and what costs are involved? The premise of the article is that looking at curriculum from a gender perspective is beneficial for the adaptation of academic knowledge to the current requirements of the labour market. One conclusion is that there is still a long way to go before gender will be regarded as legitimate knowledge in higher education.

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?

Quality of life is a new research field in the postmodern world. Results show that there are several factors beyond the material world which have an impact on our happiness and which can be influenced and developed by us. To transfer the knowledge that can help improve quality of life requires authentic channels. One of these channels could be the stratum of educated intellectuals as an influential group of society, but they are authentic only if their quality of life is really better than nonqualified population’s quality of life. We investigated this issue in Hungary. On the basis of empirical research, we compared university students’ quality of life indicators with those of common people of similar ages. The objective of this paper is to present the relevant results of this research, which show that a) the examined indicators of quality of life are not more favorable with university students than the same indicators with the non-student population; b) the quality of life indicators of female university students are worse in some respects than those of non-student women; c) the impact of some psychological factors is stronger with university students than with common persons. The major conclusion of this paper is that an appropriate intervention is needed in health education programs at universities in order to contribute to the improvement of students’ quality of life.

The aim of the article is to discuss the issue of academic revolution in India. Particularly since the globalization, this revolotion is marked by transformation unprecedented in scope and diversity and education particularly higher education is profoundly influenced by the new order. However, it remains unfinished task due adequate statutory support of the government. In Indian context the national aspirations, to establish knowledge society in the context of increasing globalization, is based on the assumption that higher and technical education essentially empower people with requisite competitive skills and knowledge. The emerging trends demonstrate consumer driven approach to enhance marginal capital gains in educational investment. The higher education being a powerful tool to build knowledge based society and also a critical input underlying sustainable development has received a significant attention nowadays.

Corporate social responsibility has been widely discussed and analyzed from the business perspective for several decades. The changes and challenges that universities have had to face during this time made them begin to undertake, with varying degrees of awareness, socially responsible actions. The aim of the paper is to present the issue of university social responsibility and attempt to evaluate whether the activities undertaken by the Faculty of Economics and Management at the University of Bialystok can be regarded as socially responsible ones. The analysis of the actions taken by this institution leads to the conclusion that despite the lack of a formally developed concept of social responsibility, the Faculty engages in a number of pro-social activities.

This conceptual paper discusses changes in higher education sector, growing competition as a result of new private education providers and the adoption of student-as-customer perspective in recruitment and marketing of higher education institutions. The paper reviews numerous models of student choice and identifies inconsistencies in the role of social factors in the student choice. These inconsistencies are of special importance in current higher education landscape and growing prominence of peer-to-peer communication via social media. Consequently, a thorough understanding of influences that effect student choice of higher education institution is imperative. This conceptual paper puts forward a conceptual framework that integrates Kelman’s processes of social influence and Cialdini-Goldstein’s goals that underpin the acceptance of that influence to examine the effects social context has on student choice of higher education institution.

Educational policy plays a key role in creating the conditions, defining concepts and directions of development of systems and ways of education in Europe. Based on the analysis of the process of shaping the policy of the Community and then the European Union towards education, the Author identified three stages of education policy development, including higher education. First, the period of faint interest in education, devoid of policy towards higher education. Second, the period of the initial thinking about education policy, including higher education. Third, the period of a separate and specific thinking of higher education policy. During the first period, in political thinking, education has not been given a strategic importance because it was not directly related to the process of building economic competitiveness of the Community. The second stage was largely characterised by linking education policy with economic development, including employability, competitiveness and growth. However, in the third period, the actions that were undertaken by the institutions of the European Union, have contributed significantly to the increase of synergy in European higher education and constituted an investment in the competence of individuals.

This text is a contribution to the discussion on the reform of higher education in Poland. By referring to selected examples, it shows that the planned changes are based on several fundamental myths resulting from the inefficiency of earlier attempts to heal the university system. At the same time, it aims to show why it is necessary to abandon the belief that higher education can be reformed quickly, with little financial outlays, and that the results of the implemented changes can be instant. The text offers also a criticism of the view assuming that the expected changes can be arrived at only through a reform of the law, and that it is possible to transplant solutions functioning in other countries directly to Poland. The presented considerations oppose the position according to which there exist some ideal models of education and research, whose implementation can make it possible to “breed” an ideal scholar. Arguing that education and academic success will always be an outcome of many variables, a critical analysis of selected solutions included in the law on science and higher education has been offered as well.

The article discusses the changes that have occurred in the Polish system of higher education since 1989. The author points to the changes of law that organized the functioning of the sector, from Higher Education Act (1990) to the amendment to the Law on Higher Education (2011), pointing to different legal solutions to the trend towards the commercialization of the system and the consequent commodification of higher education.
