In the Slovak Republic, on the basis of legislative conditions, the Higher Education Act does not give the possibility to direct the management of public higher education institutions towards the fulfillment of their goals and thus to adapt effectively to the current situation and challenges. This is characterized by processes and structures that are duplicate, problematic or ambivalent, which ultimately prevents public higher education institutions from autonomously receiving and fulfilling their mission. It is therefore important that alternative management trends are introduced into the governance structures to help the development of public higher education institutions. We consider the use of marketing strategic management as such an element. Thus, the use of this type of management can ultimately benefit the university in the form of the required number of pupils. It can also contribute to improving the quality and supply of education, information and information.

Civil protection is an essential part of the national security system. One of the main conditions for successful functioning of any system is a properly organized regulatory framework - laws, Cabinet of Minister’s regulations that clearly define the civil protection structure and the responsibilities and rights of legal and natural persons involved in the processes. This study identifies the current situation and concludes that the norms of the Civil Defence and Disaster Management Law adopted by the Saeima in 2016 eliminate the discrepancies of the Civil Protection Law of 2006 and administrative-territorial reform of 2009, and specifically determine the areas of responsibility and activities of the state and municipal institutions, but the changes in the regulations governing the training of students and employees ensure compulsory civil protection courses for higher education institutions.

Additionally, students can learn from their faculty mentors not only academic content, but important behaviors about how to be involved activists in seeking change. This chapter explores how faculty and students are activists, how they learn and interact with each other, and ultimately, what impact this has on the operation on individual higher education institutions and the higher education industry at large.

The American higher education system consists of over 4,700 institutions educating over twenty-one million students. The most striking feature of this system is its diversity. There is no “typical college.” Much of the story about the future of America’s four-year higher education institutions is found in their differences, not their similarities. Schools are public and private, large and small, elite and open enrollment, tuition dependent and well endowed, liberal arts oriented and vocational. The challenges facing America’s colleges and universities will affect the diverse parts of this system in very different ways. Generalizing about this system can be very dangerous.
