В статье рассматриваются задачи, роль и возможности университетов в развитии современного общества в контексте эволюционных институциональных изменений. Современный университет требует свободы в каждой сфере: свободы мысли, свободного исследования, свободного обсуждения и критики. Вместе с тем эта цель должна быть достигнута с учетом национального самосознания и национальной культуры. Университет – учреждение, деятельность которого невозможна без профессионалов, но это и место для дискуссии, а также для научного исследования. Современный университет может функционировать только создавая демократическую окружающую среду, как для академических персоналий, так и для студентов.
