The principle aim of this discourse on social philosophy (law, sociology and political science) is to analyze, from a normative perspective and following the critical postulates of Habermas (2008), Luhmann (1998) and Weber (2000), the challenges of communication processes between the university and society on systemic and inter-subjective, individual levels, with special reference to present contingencies in the knowledge and information society, the challenges of perfecting university-society communication mechanisms and the legal possibilities for institutional change in contemporary university institutions. Starting from an inductive methodological level, the study states that communication processes represent the basis and foundation for structural interaction between university and society and that in complex societal systems, stasis of the concepts that found and legitimize the university institution interfere with that structural, communicational interaction.
