Recenzii

“The book thus provides conceptual and empirical evidence of USR from twelve universities which belong to the University Social Responsibility Network. … This is an excellent introduction to the concept of university social responsibility and should be required reading for senior academic administrators at universities.” (Deborah C. Poff, Applied Research in Quality of Life, Vol. 14, 2019)
