THE NEW GOVERNANCE SOUGHT FOR USM
STATUS OF USM’s NEW CONSTITUTIONThe drafting of the new constitution started  in January 2009 and has gone through intensive scrutiny by officers from the KPT, AG Chambers and USM representatives.
The draft formally submitted to AG Chambers on 25th March 2010 for approval before gazzette.
The draft contains:
USM’s requests on autonomy and empowerment
USM’s own “wish list”The Constitution is meant to be a preliminary measure pending the enactment of an Apex University Act or an Apex University Schedule.
Audititist:TheGovernance Gap    …the articulation of governance…towards R&D  unfortunately, is still in “compliance” mode of a tick-box (based on old foundation) approach…or else… The gap: Can a tick box approach to, or a rigid compliance with the guidelines or rules [set on old foundation] accelerate the laying of new foundation for RU? APEX?
Governance [audit] cannot be that a single process will always be the best process for every imaginable business or business transaction in the world esp R&D.
    …rather is it about applying our minds as to what is the best process for the business of the organisation or for a particular transaction [eg APEX]… which can be negated by the rigidly (mindless) compliance-or-else regime.M King (2006) The Corporate Citizen – Governance for all entitiesPenguin Book, p. 15, 25
