Volosnikova, L.M. University as a subject of international law: from the history of constitutional doctrine.

Abstract: The article is devoted to the process of formation and development of representation of the Universities in Russia and in Europe as a part of their constitutional status in XIX and early XX centuries, as well as to the constitutional doctrine of professional representation. The growth number of representatives of academic and higher education institutions, as accompanied by the development of the legislative provisions in this sphere, were followed by the considerable amount of criticism. The representation of the Universities via the elections from an academic corporation denies the people’s University, since the representatives of the University tended to represent their corporations, rather than the people as an abstract supreme legal entity, which sums up to a dogmatic fiction, which remains the basis for the constitutional law.
