Univer-sities have the responsibility to work for common good improvement and for global important issues solutions. This inclusive mission and the purpose to have a positive impact on society respecting all the stakehold-ers are framed into the University Social Responsibility (USR) concept. USR, as the Corporate Social Responsibility for enterprises, helps uni-versities to gain a competitive advantage and to be legitimated to operate and to improve their reputation. Within the educational field, public education organizations should accomplish the following requirements: be valuable, politically sustainable, legitimated and feasible. To be legiti-mated and to maintain this legitimacy, universities need to implement policies and procedures which ensure transparency and accountability in their decision-making process and governance. The objective of this re-search is to analyze how Spanish public universities talk about governance, ethics and accountability in their Strategic Plan. 2025-03-11T12:45:13Z 2025-03-11T12:45:13Z 2025-03-11T12:45:13Z 2020 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14342/447 eng Ramon Llull Journal of Applied Ethics, vol. 1, núm. 11, 2020 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International © Càtedra Ethos - Universitat Ramon Llull i Herder Universitat Ramon Llull
