Abstract

In the early days of higher educatión, the university was in general “a guild organisation of masters or students or of masters and students combined, having a high degree of juridical autonomy, the right to elect its own officers, statutory making powers, and a communal seal” (Cobban 1975: 32). This formed the origin of their characteristic governance system based on collégial decision making.1
