Abstract

Paweł Czarnecki’s aim in this article is to present the legal measure of mediation conducted in disciplinary proceedings against academic teachers (academic mediation), introduced on October 1st 2018, after the entry into force of the Act of July 20th 2018, Law on Higher Education and Science. Czarnecki discusses the following aspects of this measure: the definition of academic mediation, the procedure of referring a case to mediation, general principles of mediation proceedings, stages of this procedure, and postulates aimed at increasing the efficiency of proceedings in such cases. Based on his analysis of statistical data obtained from Polish universities, Czarnecki puts forward a thesis that, unless the provisions on academic mediation are changed, mediation will not be an effective instrument to help resolve conflicts at a university between the accused academic teacher and the victim.
