Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji dampak komersialisasi terhadap tata kelola pendidikan tinggi di Indonesia dan mengkaji strategi yang dapat digunakan oleh pendidikan tinggi dalam menghadapi dampak komersialisasi. Kajian ini menggunakan studi pustaka. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat tiga dampak yang ditimbulkan oleh komersialisasi pendidikan terhadap tata kelola pendidikan tinggi yakni dampak terhadap standar akademik, semangat kolegialitas dan kepercayaan di antara civitas akademika dan citra perguruan tinggi di mata publik. Strategi yang dapat dilakukan untuk pendidikan tinggi negeri antara lain mempertahankan mutu pendidikan dan menjaga pola akses masuk anak didik tetap pada jalur semestinya, dan mengusahakan bentuk-bentuk pengumpulan modal untuk membiayai pendidikan melalui jalur perbankan. Sedangkan untuk pendidikan tinggi swasta, strategi yang dapat dilakukan yakni melakukan koordinasi dengan Kopertis, meningkatkan mutu pendidikan melalui pengembangan kemampuan siswa dan melakukan efisiensi terhadap pengeluaran yang tidak prioritas untuk menekan terjadinya lonjakan biaya pendidikan.---This paper aims to examine the impact of commercialization on higher education governance in Indonesia and examine strategies that can be used by higher education to face the impact of commercialization. This study uses literature study. The results of the study indicate that there are three impacts caused by the commercialization of education on higher education governance i.e. the impact on academic standards, the spirit of collegiality and trust among the academic community and the image of universities in the public. Strategies that can be undertaken for public higher education, among others, maintain the quality of education and keep the pattern of access to students stay on the track, and seek forms of capital collection to finance education through the banking channel. While for private higher education, a strategy that can be done is to coordinate with Kopertis (Coordinator of Private Higher Education), improve the quality of education through the development of students' skills and efficiency of expenditures that are not a priority to reduce education costs.
