Social responsibility in the university

摘要

We believe that universities have a social responsibility, mainly the private ones, considered as enterprises. Thus it is necessary to make a distinction between the social responsibility of the university and the social responsibility in the university, once it would hardly be effective to make this contribution without teaching such concepts to the students. This article intends to moot some questions concerning the social responsibility in the university and the social importance of the professional-citizenship formation, paralleling it with the reflection upon the future professionals, course managers and teachers concerning their inherent responsibilities, in a social context that hardly benefits this practice.
