Evaluation of Existing Situation of University Institutional Autonomy in Moldova

This report introduces four studies in which the current status of university institutional autonomy in Moldova is evaluated. University institutional autonomy consists of four types of autonomy: organizational, financial, human resource, and academic, and five interfaces that characterize external and internal points of interaction between modern universities and their key stakeholders: government–university; university management–university staff; university staff–students; university–businesses; and university–internationalization. In addition, this report discusses the context and the structure of higher education as well as the overall education system in Moldova.
