  • Summary

    University governance broadly construed is intended to make universities better by framing and solving problems, making decisions, ensuring fidelity to stated goals and holding institutions accountable, but also advancing strategy, counseling university leaders, advocating on behalf of the universities and serving as a bridge to relevant external stakeholders, which can be represented by the state, the community, or a combination of both, depending on the context. This chapter explores four dliemmas of governance and how the four models resolve them and it identifies a set of novel dilemmas from the post-Soviet context. Itts recommendations focus on developing policy contexts that are consistent between levels of autonomy and capacity and between autonomy and competition; and then aligning governace models with contextual factors to heighten governance effectiveness.
