PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES IN POST-SOCIALIST STATES COULD
BECOME ‘UN-ACADEMIC’ AFTER THE 2020 PANDEMIC
Firm and verifiable signs give reason for legitimate concern and criticism
of the path taken by public universities in European post-socialist states
in the last two decades. Not fulfilling their social role and function, as
guardians of knowledge, thought, critical reflection and open-minded-
ness, is a cause for serious concern. Universities have bowed to the aggres-
sive logic of the market. Instead of resisting the purely bureaucratic and
brutal administrative conditions and criteria imposed by the state, univer-
sities have completely and uncritically subjected themselves to the dictates
of authorities and committees controlled by the state. Academics have be-
come passive and apathetic slaves of robotised technocratic dehumanisa-
tion. These phenomena have led universities to considerably fail to take
care of the education of critically thinking citizens, of moral personalities
and courageous civil intellectuals equipped with authentic and high-qual-
ity knowledge, and with self-respect, combined with an appropriate eth-
ical self-understanding of their systemic and social role. Academics have
lost awareness of their most important public role in the maintenance
and progress of genuine democracy and the political system’s legitimacy.
It seems that these universities have become almost non-academic. And
they could finally become ‘un-academic’ due to the 2020 pandemic.
Keywords: university, knowledge (as value), education, ethics, democracy

POKLICNE ODLOČITVE IN VODENJE KARIERE V KONTEKSTU
AVTONOMNOSTI IN SAMOODLOČANJA
Avtor obravnava spremembe v upravljanju kariere, ki so se zgodile v za-
dnjih letih zaradi dinamičnih sprememb v gospodarstvu in na trgu dela
ter vplivov sodobnih pristopov, ki izhajajo iz teorij razvoja kariere. Očitno
je, da je sedanje karierno vodenje kompleksno in se naslanja na psiholo-
ške teorije, ki se ukvarjajo s strukturo posameznika in njegovimi razvoj-
nimi fazami, v zadnjem času predvsem tiste, ki se osredotočajo na iden-
titeto ter kreiranje individualnosti. V tem kontekstu smo priča razvoju
inovacij, ki se kažejo v zahtevah po avtonomnem vodenju kariere in kari-
ernem konstruiranju, lastnem upravljanju učnih procesov, samoodločanju
in drugih prvinah. Vse te inovacije avtor uporablja tudi pri osebah s po-
sebnimi potrebami, kjer predstavi sintetizirani model kompetenčne kari-
ere za to populacijo.
Ključne besede: kariera, samoodločanje, osebe s posebnimi potrebami, ka-
rierno konstruiranje, avtonomija
