322 VEZETŐK, TESTÜLETEK, FELELŐSSÉG A FELSŐOKTATÁSI INTÉZMÉNYEKBEN approach of responsibility results in the formulation a new model of HEI management responsibility. The book has three main chapters besides the preface and the summary. The second part presents the legal background of managerial responsibility, touching on its nature, and the history of higher education law, as well as introducing the types of current regulation, with a short outlook at the international context. The third part discusses the component of the university management's responsibility in the different forms of (Hungarian) higher education institutions, as well as the terminology of management, control and managers in general. It also confers the types of university managers (i.e. rector, chancellor, and president) and the university bodies. This part analyses the connections between the aforementioned forms of responsibility (e.g, ethical leadership, ethics of leadership, liability) and the Hungarian regulation of management and control at the universities. In discussing the challenges of dual-management (i.e. rector and chancellor), the last chapter of this part introduces the demands of professional responsibility. The fourth part of the book considers the dilemmas of responsibility. It presents the problems and questions of the current regulation (de lege lata) and proposes solutions to them (de lege ferenda). The first dilemma is especially current: the connection between autonomy and responsibility, the transformation of responsibility with the ongoing reduction of autonomy (as well as academic freedom). The second matter is the liability and professional responsibility of the rectors and chancellors under current Hungarian law, complicated by the ambiguous and constantly changing regulations, the dual managerial system, which stands on an uncertain basis, and the relationship between these top managers. The third topic is the role of university bodies in the responsibility of the management, the responsibility of the members of these bodies, and the analysis of the special problems of the newer type of bodies in Hungarian law, i.e. the consistory. Finally, the book investigates the responsibility of students’ union officeholders, studying the nature of the student's legal relationship by examining the regulation. The book is useful not only for those interested in the operation of higher education, but it can also serve as a starting point for further studies in the field of law, for students, or even for educational, psychological as well as managerial research. Also, it can be used as a curriculum in both legal training and university training in the operation and management of (educational) organizations.
