Funding of higher education institutions is a major growing expense for the Oman government (13–14% of the total spending in 2016) and is at par with that of other governments (e.g., 11% in the UK and 15.5% in the US). However, there has been little investigation into the funding of quality higher education in Oman. The present research project aims to explore the sources of funding at Oman universities after it opened the private education sector in 1996. The research methodology includes conducting interviews with leaders in higher education to explore different types of funding (e.g., gifts, tuition fees, government support). This will enhance our understanding, as well as that of decision-makers, regarding universities' funding sources and of the higher education landscape.

The professionalization of university management takes place in many countries and is part of the transformation of the higher education sector. Professionalization of university management in the USA, Great Britain, many EU countries and other parts of the world includes the implementation of the concept of strategic management of public and private universities, as well as strengthening and improving the administration and professional development of managers in the higher education sector. The adoption of Law 2.0 creates an organizational space for the introduction of various management solutions. The basis of organizational changes is the increase in competition, diversity of the university's mission and internationalization. It can be argued that greater freedom in the application of various organizational solutions and increased competition will favor the professionalization of management. Numerous strategic, structural and managerial solutions will be tested at universities and adjusted to their needs.

The paper is concerns problems of professionalization HR-experts in USA. Information on structure of professional organizations in the ­ eld of HR practices and ways to outreach HR-experts are described. Of special interest is the assessment of HR-experts performance, undertaken on the basis of Friedson’s model. Of interest is also description of methods, HR-experts currently use to assess their own performance and speci­ cs of professional training. As the authors show, the need for entry control to the profession in terms of certi­ cation or acquiring higher education I relatively weak. The very fact of low entry barrier for HR practices may relate to low recognition of signi­ cance of HR-activities by public and business community. Despite the claims of the US HR-experts that they enjoy some autonomy of operation, in fact they tend to consider their work as being intrinsically controllable by their professional organization.

Principal Elements

The transfer of experience of university–industry cooperation from those countries where it has become established to countries at earlier stages of the learning curve is a matter of increasing importance. In this article, John Kelly distils the experience of cooperation in northern Europe and, to a lesser extent, in the USA, into a framework for establishing a successful university–industry programme. He identifies the principal elements of cooperation between industry and higher education as cooperative teaching, enterprise development, contract research, and campus companies, and then sets out a suggested organizational and management structure. The article exemplifies one way in which experience may be transferred across countries and economies and provides an overview of lessons learned in the structure and establishment of collaborative programmes.

Introductain. The article highlights the ed-ucational potential of service learning in the US higher education in the process of forming students' citizenship. Teaching community service as a highly effective peda-gogical practice in American higher education institutions ensures the development of students' readiness for a meaningful and responsible life in an interdependent world characterized by uncertainty, rapid change and destabilizing inequality, and serves as a basis for forming students’ citizenship.The definition of community service learning by the American educators, who see it as a form of learning, as well as a teaching strategy that combines sociallysignifi-cant activities with an educational process based on reflection with the view to enriching students' learning experience, building civic responsibility and strengthening communities, is considered. The basic requirements of conformity of service learning in universities and colleges of the USA to the status of educational discipline are characterized.It is noted that teaching service learning in higher ed-ucation institutions in the United States promotes, through dialogue and cooperation, the social and cognitive devel-opment of students who, coming from the comfort zone to the contact zone, learn to interact effectively with each other and other people as well

The Impact

The prospect of “Brexit” is causing significant anxiety across the European higher education sector, as universities brace themselves for a possible departure of the United Kingdom and a reconfiguration of the sector. Our research suggests that while the impact is expected to be uneven across the region—with some possible short-term beneficiaries—research cooperation with the United Kingdom and freedom of movement are valued by universities across the region.
