On Governance and Decision-Making at Russian Higher Education Institutions
https://doi.org/10.32609/0042-8736-2007-6-94-105
Abstract
The paper considers some results of the research of the governance structure at Russian higher education institutions. The study covers admission policy as well as educational, scientific, investment and other policies. The level of participation of inter-university agents in different activities is also discussed. The analysis of opinion polls shows that governance at Russian universities is mainly hierarchic, most decisions are taken by the university’s administration while the opinion of the faculty is of very low significance. This model is notably different from that of European university where governance is more collective.
