The barriers for the transition to a new management paradigm of  national  higher  education  have  been  clarified.  The  change  in  classical  trinity of  value orientations of the university idea has been identified. The problems and potential of social education at modern Russian universities have been fully scrutinized.

This is also important because the development of technology will lead to the loss of the need to train the majority of modern professions. The possibilities of social leadership of universitieshave been clarified.
