Abstract
In recent years, the refugee issue in Poland has been used to create moods and political fights. What draws attention is the strongly stigmatising debate discourse used by representatives of the Polish authorities in 2015–2023. The central questions of the article concerned the activity of Polish universities in the context of public debate on refugees in Poland in 2015–2023 and meeting expectations regarding the response to anti-refugee public discourse. Value-expectancy theory creates the analysis's theoretical background. The source of the data is an analysis of the content of university websites (exhaustive sample). The data indicate that Polish universities' activities on their websites vary depending on place and time. They show the image of universities active and involved in supporting refugees from Ukraine, with a slightly more limited interest in refugees from other parts of the world.
