Legislation of university social responsibility. Study case in universities from Peru and ecuador

Abstract:

The article presents a revision to the legislation of the University Social Responsibility in Peru and Ecuador, considering how it influences the accbkp_reditation processes from the presentation of two case studies in a university of each country. Through a review of the documentation of the legal context of both countries and of internal reports of each university, the analysis carried out serves to present the situation prior to the legislation and indicate which aspects have conditioned the adoption of corrective actions in each university. The results of the analysis point to the opportunities and difficulties arising around promoting social responsibility internally and towards society, granting the legislative framework a guiding character to be assimilated and put into value as an inherent part of the universities. The importance of the research responds to a progressive legislative advance around the social responsibility of higher education in Latin American countries.
