Summary/Abstract: This presentation provides both overview and analysis of key elements of a struggle for public higher education free of charge, taking into account local, regional, transitional and broader Europen contexts and circumstances. There are two important aspects in the focus of the presentation: practical (concerned with organization, unions, and direct democracy) and theoretical (concerned with documents, principles, value systems). The presentation particularly focuses on Declaration on science and higher educationwritten by the union ”Academic solidarity“. Authors of the Declarationhave identified various problems regarding the higher educational system and its reforms as well. In order to critically analyse and, ideally, overcome some of those problems, the presentation outlines key principles and ideas from the Declarationas well as problems that implementation of the Declarationmay face: from the structure of the academic community to dominant system of values in the society.
