Governance

Governance in higher education is the means by which we are formally organized and managed. University governance is the way in which universities are operated. Governing structures for higher education are highly differentiated throughout the world, but the different models nonetheless share a common heritage. Governance and management of post-secondary becomes even more diverse with the differences in defining the relationships between higher and tertiary education. The issues are complicated by current debates over collegial and shared forms of governance contrasted to corporate and business forms of institutional governance.
