Abstract
The article analyzes the problems of university social responsibility formation in a regional community. The authors chose the network of federal universities of Russia as a subject of research to analyze the forms of social responsibility in this socially important field of education. This is due to a trend toward gradual institutionalization of the social responsibility of federal universities and regions that is transforming into a peculiar format of relations between universities and the Russian Federation. Based on the analysis and generalization of common approaches to the definition of university social responsibility, we reveal the content of this phenomenon from the perspective of a socio-cultural approach. Based on the understanding of social responsibility as relations of universities and regions, we carried out a qualitative analysis of federal universities’ missions stated in their development strategies in terms of the various elements of social responsibility to the regions. Then we analyzed how the actual regional strategies of social and economic development reflect the role of the higher education system and, in particular, of the federal universities in their home regions. As a result, it was established that public authorities are a participant in social responsibility relations. In addition, we observed some contradictions between how universities and officials interpret social responsibility. Finally, the authors formulated the conclusions and recommendations to enhance the role of social responsibility in the relations between universities and regions and draw the ways of increasing the efficiency of their interaction.
