Summary/Abstract: RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The aim of the work is to answer the question in which direction the entrepreneurial university model will change in the context of the proposed legislative changes (Statute 2.0)? THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: The scientific problem is to determine the direction of modifying the university model as a result of the proposed legislative changes. The article will use the method of analyzing documents and literature in the above field. THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: The work contains a description of the causes and limitations of the entrepreneurial model in Polish universities. Then, the focus was on the consequences of legislative changes from 2011 and the analysis of proposals for changes to the act (Statute 2.0). In the final part, an attempt was made to determine the direction of changes in the university model in Poland. RESEARCH RESULTS: As a result of the conducted analysis, the tendency to further focus on the entrepreneurial model of the university with a greater diversity of tasks due to the different profiles of higher education institutions is visible. Entrepreneurship of the university in Poland will continue to concern both the scientific and didactic activities. CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Proposals for changes in Statute 2.0 show increased emphasis and requirements related to the academic activity of the university. The need for structural changes in universities is also evident. All this will be a major challenge for higher education and its employees after the introduction of the amended law on higher education.
