ABSTRACT: In recent times, the importance of the responsibility of universities has
been highlighted. The objectives of the
research focused on making a diagnosis of the progress in the transversal
management of University Social Responsibility (RSU) in Higher Education
Institutions (IES), 2 public ones, the Autonomous University of Chihuahua (UACH),
and University of Colima (UCol); and 2
private ones, the Universidad de Monterrey (UDEM); and the Instituto
Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey (ITESM), Monterrey campus, to
compare the performance in RSU of the same and to identify good practices of
RSU. The nature of the research was quantitative, descriptive, non-experimental and transectional.
The method was based on a 2019 random survey of 201 university executives. A
measurement instrument was applied that divides the RSU macrovariable into 4 areas of action and 12 compliance goals. The
stated objectives were met and it was found that the level of RSU progress in
ITESM was 3.27, in UDEM it was 4.24, in UCol it was 3.52, and in UACH it was
2.78.
