The article examines the main quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the university social community of research and pedagogical stuff (RPS) from the point of view of both the trends that took place at the beginning of the XXI century and the current trends, as well as the ways of long-term development of this category of intellectual labor specialists. It is proved that further improvement of higher education in the country is impossible without the active participation in this process of the flagship of university progress – RPS. In order to identify the prospects of this community, the solution of the fundamental tasks of developing its potential is considered. The article proposes a Pyramid of factors of influence on the RPS, driven by four social actors – the presidential administration (level of megafactors), the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Russian Federation (level of macrofactors), regional authorities and local governments (level of mesofactors), university administration (level of microfactors). All the considered solutions of the regulators of different levels, in the author’s opinion, have a strategic importance for the development of the RPS potential.
