The reform of higher education as an element introducing a new concept of public university management

Abstract

The aim of the article is to present the results of the analysis of the impact of the “healing” process of the European higher education system on the management of public universities in Poland. By analysing the process of reforming higher education lasting since 2010, the author will try to answer whether the centrally imposed process of change allowed the universities to get closer to the assumptions worked out in the new public management doctrine.
