TEACHERS’ SALARIES, GRANTS, SCIENTIFIC PROTECTIONISM: POSTNONCLASSICAL APPROACH

Using the elements of postnonclassical methodology (within the framework of synergetic approach) and the idea of «distorted forms» of social reality the article analyzes some of the problems of university teachers remuneration and grant support and the search of financial sources in the circumstances of budget cuts and «optimization» of university functioning. Attention is drawn to differential nature and difficulties in implementing the «May edicts» of the President of the Russian Federation, including those concerning salary increase for university teachers so that it matches the average salary in each region. The author notes the dysfunctions in the organization of grant support system for research work of young scientists and teachers. The paper discusses using Siberian regional materials a systemic problem – the growing tendency of protectionism and bureaucratization in higher school and subjectivism in evaluation teachers’ and researchers’ work, as well as in evaluation educational and research organizations. There are also viewed the foundations of differential approach in allocating budgetary subsidies in educational sphere and the accepted criteria for evaluation the efficiency of its agents’ activities.
