Responsabilidad social universitaria: Incidencia en diferentes grupos de interés en una universidad colombiana

Resumen

The growth of the main universities in the city of Ibagué-Colombia, together with the high-quality accreditation process that they have been carrying out, raises the question about the degree of responsibility that these higher education institutions have with the community that surrounds them. In this sense, this manuscript presents the objective of determining the incidence of university social responsibility policies perceived by three interest groups (students, teachers and officials), of a university located in Ibagué, Colombia. The study addressed aspects related to quantitative and qualitative research, with a descriptive and explanatory scope. A sample by optimal allocation was used, consisting of 291 students and 54 teachers; In the case of civil servants, a non-probabilistic sampling was applied, corresponding to 20. As a result, it is surprising that corollaries have been obtained that show the lack of transversality of all social responsibility, which does not show, especially in students, the implementation of policies on university social responsibility, which promote social intervention in the dynamics carried out in different contexts. In conclusion, the three groups studied concentrate the interest in carrying out academic activities articulated with the needs of society.
