Higher education system in Poland has undergone in the years 1989–2020 the
process of profound changes. The logic and the philosophy of the reforms of the
Polish HEI have stayed in the broad frame of New Public Management, thus
being convergent with the public policies addressed to academic institutions in
US and Europe (Ferlie, Musselin, Andresani 2008). The circumstances of implementing the NPM driven reforms were, however, very specific in Poland: on
the one hand, the modernization of the HE institutions took place in the context
of the profound, wholistic systemic transformation. On the other, Polish academia
entered the new era with the resources, habits and traditions that had been
shaped by the past experiences. The paper is the case study of the Polish HEI
after 1989. I aim to identify the processes and mechanisms that have been put
into motion by the solutions and regulations adopted by the public authorities –
privatization, performance based funding and decentralization in the first place.
In the frame of NPM, public authorities supersede planning by steering via
setting the boundary conditions and payoffs matrix in such a way as to encourage
– or make rational – to move in a certain, desired direction. I argue this kind of
steering resulted in many negative externalities, including instrumentalization of
the HEI missions and erosion of the academic ethos.
