Abstract
Understanding the purpose of higher education (HE) could help navigate the modern crisis where the aims of HE have become diffused and where students and educators believe the academic environment should be different than it currently is. Building on grounds by Watty (2006), this descriptive analysis explores the attitudes towards and beliefs about the roles of students, educators, and the university itself while comparing potential differences between the views of educators and students. The data was gathered through an online survey which was filled out by 166 students and 35 educators mostly affiliated with the University of Groningen. Statistical analysis using ANOVA revealed no significant differences between the opinions of students and educators. At the same time, paired t-tests indicated numerous significant differences in statements that compared attitudes to beliefs about HE. The results were in line with previous research and further support the need for the creation of a framework for the purpose of HE.
