The Changing Landscape of Institutional Autonomy

Published by UNESCO as a technical brief for the revision of the 1997 Recommendation concerning the Status of Higher-Education Teaching Personnel, The Changing Landscape of Institutional Autonomy by Peter Woelert examines how university autonomy is changing in response to contemporary pressures on higher education. The brief considers the relationship between institutional self-governance, public accountability, academic freedom, funding, regulation, and the evolving responsibilities of higher education institutions. It supports reflection on how autonomy can be protected and updated to ensure universities remain able to serve teaching, research, public good, and democratic society.
