Abstract
Over the last three decades there have been significant changes in governing
higher education institutions in almost all European countries. Many new national
higher education acts have been passed. Several reforms have had the key
objective of enhancing the autonomy of higher education institutions; in some
countries this has entailed changing the legal status of the institutions and their
employees, and greater financial freedom. The timing and breadth of reforms
differ across Europe. In Middle Europe, in the post-communist countries political
changes drastically changed the higher education landscape in a very short period
of time in the early 1990s, whereas in the Western European countries the reforms
were implemented gradually. In my paper I summarize the most important
changes in university governance in Europe.
