The factors of academic systems transformation in the conditions of global institutional changes of higher school architectonics are researched. The author identifies the peculiarities of the processes of academic transformation occurring under the influence of digitalisation, massification and commercialisation of higher education. The author investigates the perception of academic anomalies by the academic community of higher education as a result of transformations and institutional changes in education. The empirical basis for the sociological study includes the results of the national expert survey conducted among the academic community of Belarusian higher education institutions.
