Abstract

A detailed analysis of the author’s judgments on the key issues covered in the book — the functions of contemporary university, cooperation and competition, the “egregious audit culture”, the nature and meaning of the humanities, assessment of humanities research quality, the impact factor, and university financing — has shown that many situations actually describe the existing education system in Russia.
