In many parts of the world, the discussion about values that underpin higher education and are important to institution of higher education, is becoming more and more frequent. Though relatively little empirical research has been done on the reasons for this resurgence of interest in values and principles, it is this author’s opinion that a number of societal challenges, increased number of moral dilemmas brought about by technological capacities, as well as, at times, a questioning of university relevance, are among the reasons for university leaders, faculty and students (sometimes together and sometimes separately) to call for a renewed reflection about the values that drive higher education and for values to be better embedded in university actions.
