University Social Responsibility. Indicators for a model of USR

Abstract

Social Responsibility (SR) inspires strategic planning, assuming what we now called corporate citizenship. The Regional Conference on Higher Education 2008 CRES (abbreviation in Spanish) framed Higher Education as a strategic tool for sustainable development and cooperation, looking for a Common Space in Latin America and the Caribbean, which is a challenge for Latin American universities to obtain a model of RSU (abbreviation in Spanish). With an expert Delphi panel in Higher Education, ethical communication and Social Responsibility, this article delimits what we call RSU and identifies internal and external aims, parameters and how to communicate RSU as a model of integrated management.
