AbstractThis case addresses the challenge of leadership succession in a highly respected master’s program at a university in Australia. The director, who was also the program’s lead professor, was due to retire, and the distinctive nature of the program made it particularly difficult to find a suitable replacement. To complicate the challenge, the university’s central administration was not supportive of that master’s degree, whereas it achieved the highest satisfaction ratings in the university from students and enjoyed good support from industry; the director’s insistence on quality of educational experience resulted in tight control of student admission, fewer students, and lower revenue than competing programs.A highly engaged group of students and alumni took on this challenge, working with the outgoing director to sustain impressive results over a 5-year period.

This chapter introduces and discusses changes with respect to the university governance system in China which is in the process of creating a world-class university by taking Tongji University as an example. It presents an analytical framework on the basis of four powers: (1) the internal democratic nature of the governance structure, (2) the external involvement in university governance, (3) the level of centralization of the decision-making authority in the university, and (4) the concentration of authority in an individual leadership position versus authority in a collective body or spread over various collective bodies. It analyzes and summarizes the reforms of three colleges at Tongji University in these four aspects and puts forward some reasonable suggestions for other universities.

The University governance is constantly in crisis in many developing countries especially in Africa. This article is built around the idea that this question cannot be addressed without a prior reflection on the personal expectations that determine the researchers´ commitment in their work. Our objective is to contribute to better understanding the researchers’ motivations when they decide to publish articles, to write or supervise theses. The study considers the field of Management Sciences where the conceptual debate concerning the value of research rarely mentions what the researcher earn for himself. Data were collected through comprehensive interviews with 55 researchers of two Cameroonian Universities. The analysis puts forth five configurations of motivations that are likely to inspire the deepen reflections on local Universities governance reform.

ABSTRACTThis research aims to examine and investigate in depth about the causes of the absorption of delays that occur in the Central University of Jember University. This research begins with the uneasiness of the phenomenon that occurs in the Central UKM University of Jember will be a delay in the absorption of the budget. This problem certainly has an impact on funds used temporarily to meet pre-event needs. Even more so if the funds needed are large. In addition, this delay in budget absorption also results in suboptimal activities carried out and has an impact on the University of Jember, specifically related to one of the principles of GUG (Good University Governance), namely the principle of responsibility which indicates the extent to which the process of providing public services carried out by Jember University, is it already in accordance with administrative and organizational requirements that are true and in accordance with statutory regulations. This research is qualitative research using ethnomethodology study methods. The results showed that the cause of the delay in budget absorption was due to the delay in the submission of TOR, unpreparedness in the implementation of SIMAWA, the existence of a long bureaucratic process plus a clash of busyness from the approval party, delay in SPJ collection, accumulation of activity programs at the end of the year, and the number of activity programs proposed by Central UKM of Jember University.Keywords: Public Sector Accounting, Budget Absorption, Good University Governance (GUG) ABSTRAKPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk menelaah dan menelisik secara mendalam tentang penyebab keterlambatan penyerapan yang terjadi pada UKM Pusat Universitas Jember.

Adanya permasalahan ini tentu saja berdampak pada dana-dana yang digunakan sementara untuk memenuhi kebutuhan pra acara. Terlebih lagi jika dana yang dibutuhkan dalam nominal yang besar. Selain itu keterlambatan penyerapan anggaran ini juga mengakibatkan tidak optimalnya kegiatan yang dilaksanakan serta berdampak pada Universitas Jember, khsusunya terkait dengan salah satu prinsip GUG (Good University Goververnance) yaitu prinsip responsibilitas yang menunjukkan sejauh mana proses pemberian pelayanan publik yang dilakukan oleh Universitas Jember, apakah sudah sesuai dengan ketentuan-ketentuan administrasi dan organisasi yang benar dan sesuai dengan peraturan perundang-undangan. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif menggunakan metode studi etnometodologi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penyebab keterlambatan penyerapan anggaran dikarenakan keterlambatan dalam pengajuan TOR, ketidaksiapan dalam penerapan SIMAWA, adanya proses birokrasi yang panjang ditambah benturan kesibukan dari pihak approval, keterlambatan pengumpulan SPJ, penumpukan program kegiatan di akhir tahun, dan banyaknya program kegiatan yang diusulkan oleh UKM Pusat Universitas Jember.Kata kunci: Akuntansi Sektor Publik, Penyerapan Anggaran, Good University Governance (GUG)

Abstract The following is an interview with activist Monica Jones conducted by Che Gossett and Eva Hayward. In this interview, Jones talks about her activism against the criminalization of sex work, recounting how the program Project ROSE, which was a revealing collaboration between the university and the police, functioned through carceral logics to detain and then according to a carceral economy of innocence, criminally prosecute or “reeducate” sex workers or those profiled as sex workers. Jones shows how the university is part of the carceral continuum and is a site of Black trans and sex worker and prison abolitionist struggle, which has intensified in the current organizing against police on campuses and entanglement of university and the prison-industrial complex and the policing functions of administration and university governance. Jones also shows how this is an HIV/AIDS activist issue given that the criminalization of sex work is bound up with from gentrification, displacement, and how that is exacerbated with COVID-19.

The book offers an interdisciplinary analysis of cooperation agreements between universities and business enterprises. The author develops proposals for the arrangement of the university constitution at the contact points between science and economy. Current concepts of university governance, which as a rule remain under-complex, are countered by a scientifically appropriate procedural contract law. Proposals for an institutional design of scientific organization and management as well as specific regulation prohibitions and requirements for cooperation agreements aim to guarantee scientific autonomy despite dominant economic exploitation interests.
