Typology of Risks in the Field of Higher Education: Crisis “Harassment” in the Digital Communication Field of Universities

The study is devoted to the digital crisis communications of the university, the most frequent risk in higher education. The following risk aspects and directions are designated as the most frequent: “activities of the university/institute management”, “university marketing”, “development of educational programs”, “admission of students”, “implementation of basic educational programs” and “educational and extracurricular work with students”. The main target groups of the public for reducing these risks and identifying strategies for responding to the crisis have been identified. The main research methods are typological and structural-typological. An information audit was used to analyze the empirical material in the information field of specific basic subjects. As the main conclusions, strategies for overcoming the crisis for such a risk as harassment are outlined, and anti-crisis and post-crisis programs for implementation in the digital environment are proposed.
