10. University: Autonomy
“Freedom to make choices and take
decisions”
“Ability to translate the external conditions
into principles of organization and action”
© JCD - CAIE – Rio de Janeiro, 26.04.2012 10
11. Autonomy: Concept
“A university is autonomous not when it releases
itself from the state or the society, but when
incorporates – as its own issues – their
demands, expectations or pressures without
being restricted by them, but rather, realizing how
to appropriate them in order to assert itself as an
institution. It is not therefore, self-sufficiency or closure,
but a radical and specific way to open outwards”.
© JCD - CAIE – Rio de Janeiro, 26.04.2012 11
12. Autonomy ≠ Sovereignty
• State hierarchical submission
• Submission to the control entities
• Obedience to the major laws: State or Country
Ex: Positions and functions by law – Legislative
Assembly
Ex: Court of auditors – State and/or Country
Ex: Governor indicates University President after
consult
Governor authorizes University President to go
abroad
