Abstract

This article refers to the role that the responsibility and the ethics of the university in the social environment, -considering the permanent changes of the globalized world and the uncertainties due to the permanent changes in the educational field- plays nowadays with submission to greater demands on the quality of education both locally, nationally and internationally as a result of the changes and challenges for quality education and with corporate responsibility and ethics. The university should interact in dialogues with the different actors of students, teachers, companies and representatives of society in order to obtain greater criteria of understanding about their performance and their social responsibility with business ethics, identifying the essential contributions to sustainable human development but considering responsibility and business ethics as synonyms of high quality in university education. The university must focus on the sum of the efforts of all social actors, which involve the community with the management of the socially responsible organization, with academic training, with the production of knowledge and with the participation of sustainable human development, seeking the involvement of clients, suppliers, partners, the environment, communities, government and society in general and the consideration of social, economic, ethical and social factors.
