The Federal Constitution of 1988, in Article 205, determines the purposes of education. This Article establishes the pursuit on two dimensions: one social-collective and another individual. As a result, a Higher Education Institution (HEI), even of a private nature, incorporates, due to the activity performed, the social responsibility of education. The main objective of this research is to analyze which actions and practices of the Centro Universitário de João Pessoa - Unipê, focused on the social responsibility of the HEI, corroborate the quality of private higher education in the municipality. In developing this research, we opted for an analysis of institutional documents and information published on their website and social medias accounts, with the help of a document analysis guide and the method of coding and categorization (FLICK, 2009; STRAUSS; CORBIN, 2008; SIMIONATO; SOARES, 2014). Despite the lack of publicity for the main institutional documents, it was possible to identify social responsibility in the Institutional Self-Assessment Report of the Own Evaluation Commission (2018). The social mission was also present in projects, programs and goals that promote institutional efficacy and academic and social effectiveness. Notably, in this sense, the integration of teaching, research and extension of the university center, which activities were investigated. However, with the change of the entity's legal regime, after its sale (in 2018), and with the imminent closure of the current Institutional Development Plan - PDI (2017-2021), it is suggested to follow up the organization's academic-administrative actions, to check whether these changes will maintain the institution’s focus on the social responsibility of education.
