    Abstract

    The university, as a bureaucratically and market-managed enterprise, has been the object of criticism since the 1980s. In the United States, Allan Bloom called it a multiversity, and some time later Bill Readings wrote about “The university in ruins,” hiding behind a façade of “excellence.” The Polish university has taken over the economic criteria measured by the number of grants and points. The commodification of knowledge also raises a number of ethical questions — it leads to a lowering of or abandoning of all academic standards, the degradation of authority in science, scientific criticism, and the actual quality of research and teaching. Is there room in the modern university for behaviors subject to moral evaluation? What are the skills required for — and the conditions for — the possibility of application of moral norms in academic life?

    Keywords:

    open university, totalitarian university, multiversity: “good academic work”, science, morality, dependable intellectual
