Social Responsibility of the University

My research work has taken a new direction, a good one! I am now dealing with the subject of Social Responsibility as a tool used by Higher Education Institutions (HEI) and Distance HIE to promote SD. Soon, I will start posting my work on this subject. It will include:
- Definitions on social responsibility
- Origins of corporate social responsibility
- All on University's Social Responsibility.

There will also be a debate on the Corporate vs Academic University.

Coming soon!
