This paper tackles the academics perception regarding the changes their institutions are facing. The problem is considered under the Autonomous University of Sinaloa circumstances as a study case. The purpose is to know how the academics appreciate the modernization momentum in their study centers; therefore it is important to understand the apparent inclination of the scholars to be part of the process and the effect that it brings in terms of convergence or loss of cohesion and institutional identity. To support the interpretation of the phenomenon in question, the different conceptions, that nowadays are in debate about the theories of social change and organizations are shown.
