Abstract:

This paper deals with the discipline of university, as modified by the «Gelmini Reform» and by the Legislative Decree n. 19 of 2012. Firstly, the Author pinpoints the fundamental principles of public service that are contained in these laws, such as the principles of uniformity, equality, efficacy and accountability, etc. Secondly, the essay examines how those principles regarding public service are applied, trying to detect the differences between state and non-state universities. Finally, the Author analyses the new conception, in Italian law, of university public service, which is becoming a “subjective” public service rather than an “objective” public service.
