Inside View IV.7.3 The social responsibility of higher education in Chile: Aequalis, the higher education forum

Abstract: 

The day at the dawning of the 21st century on which we created a consortium of 13 universities as part of the ‘Universidad Construye País’ (University Builds Country) project now seems far off. At the time, we defined the social responsibility of universities as: the university’s ability to disseminate and put into practice a set of general and specific principles and values, through four key processes: management, teaching, research and university extension, in response to the university community and the country in which it is based.
