Zbaczając z kursu - Uniwersytet w tarapatach
Going off course - A university in trouble

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the current situation of the university and the academic teacher. The author attempts to answer the question about the character of transformations happening in universities. What is the role of the teacher? What does „universityˮ mean? The author refers to (among others) Henry David Thoreau's or Kazimierz Twardowski's considerations. The role of the university and the teacher in the past was not the same as today. The author observes the phenomenon of “driftingˮ in the academic environment. Moreover, the author compares the situation of the university to a ship drifting and concludes that the people connected with academia are traped in a maze and they can’t find the way out. This article aims to analyse different attitudes of teachers and students in the modern world.
