The problem addressed in this qualitative, single case study is that private institutions are not effectively applying social responsibility in the United States. Colleges and universities are considered the top centers of learning, independent knowledge, and creativity, hence playing a vital role in a society's scientific, cultural, social, and economic development. Private institution policymakers are responsible for making decisions, planning strategies, mitigating contingency plans for issues that arise and demand resolution, and understanding the stakeholders and the relevance of stakeholder satisfaction. This problem affects stakeholder satisfaction because the private institution is responsible for instructing and establishing a supportive environment for future leaders about social responsibility and the obligation to apply it. Ineffective implementation of social responsibility by private institutions has implications, particularly on stakeholder satisfaction, a vital element in an educational ecosystem. An institution’s responsibility is to create a supportive culture that nurtures future leaders and instills an understanding of social responsibility and its application. Affecting stakeholders has potential long-term societal consequences as these institutions shape the mindsets and values of future leaders. The study explores aspects of SR implementation, including institutional policies, leadership practices, curriculum design, and community engagement initiatives. The study aims to contribute to the dialogue about the role education institutions play in promoting social responsibility and fostering a more equitable and sustainable society. Findings and recommendations may inform policy changes, improve institutional practices, and enhance the ability of private institutions to be socially responsibility.
