The article develops an integrated concept of “crime in higher education” as a cross-cutting criminological cluster that is not codified as a separate chapter in Uzbekistan’s Criminal Code, yet is consistently recognized in doctrine and enforcement practice through a core criterion: the organic linkage of the offense to the institutional environment of the university and the resultant harm to academic integrity, meritocracy, and the effective realization of the right to education. The study justifies a broader understanding that moves beyond a purely corruption-centered reading. Alongside bribery and official misconduct, it includes offenses against intellectual property and research integrity, economic crimes within universities’ financial and operational activities, and crimes against the person committed through relationships of academic subordination. A four-block (level-based) classification is proposed by locus of manifestation—governance and administration; teaching/assessment processes; financial-economic operations; research and academic attestation—while highlighting recurring qualification and delimitation problems (the legal status of ordinary faculty as proper subjects, differentiating bribery from unlawful remuneration and commercial bribery, and distinguishing official forgery from document counterfeiting). The article argues that the social danger of “academic crime” is driven not only by direct pecuniary losses but, more importantly, by delayed systemic harms: degradation of human capital, erosion of trust in universities, and reproduction of social inequality. It substantiates the need to strengthen evidentiary and compliance frameworks through the “digital footprint” of educational processes and discusses the перспективе of introducing an aggravating/qualifying element for crimes committed by exploiting a status within the education and science system.
