The aim of this paper is to appraising the social and educational relevance of their performance through a critical evaluation and assessment of the theoretical contributions and findings obtained from a group of studies and research works developed by selected authors. The paper identifies three ideas which document and ratify the principle: universities as strategic organizations for sustainable development; academic staff as key actors of educational and social change, efficient performance and as critical element for the improvement of institutional quality and substantial processes.
