System transformation in Poland significantly covered the area of higher education. Successive non-state schools were established and primarily offered studies which enjoyed great popularity. Appreciating the "profitable" knowledge was the advantage of the transformations. On the one hand liberalization of law led to a considerable increase In universities offer, the competition between them appeared and the number of students enlarged tremendously. On the other hand, the new situation revealed the weaknesses of Polish higher education system, in particular within the area of imperfect law and the lack of appropriate outlays on education. The transformations of higher education evoked multiple problems and discussions on the ethos of the scholar, university identity, relations between university and social environment, and payment for studies, which seemed to be necessary in connection with financial deficiencies. Democratization of public life generated the participation of next social groups in the discussion on the shape of higher education. It was mainly caused by the media which facilitated the discussion on the state (diagnosis) and potential shape (development strategy) of higher education. In the article the author presents the results of analysis of press releases (since the beginnings of the 1990s) connected with the topic of the paper. He shows chosen aspects of higher education which aroused the most fierce discussion because of their significance for the functioning of the sector. Some of the phenomena are new for universities which have to face them to maintain certain type of autonomy displayed by the concern for educating the intellectual elites and the mission of preserving and multiplying the culture on the possibly highest level.
