Finanțarea învățământului superior în România în perioada 2007-20131

Abstract

The paper aims at summarizing the form and sources of financing for public universities in Romania, its specific legislation and changes that occur on national education level, such as the continuous decrease in the total number of students. University’s finances are placed in the context of the economic crisis, the period under analysis being 2007-2013. Facing a situation of acute underfunding and a lack of legislative consistency, an economic crisis can have much stronger effects in the long run. The situation of higher education in Romania is presented in the European context; some particularities of Babeș-Bolyai University’s revenues are presented on national scale.
