Gobernanza, poder y autonomía universitaria en la era de la innovación

Abstract

Multiple narratives around innovation accompany the promotion of a new policy cycle in higher education. A set of stories with an imprecise meaning configure an agenda of transformations focused on policies regarding digitization; virtuality; and institutional undertakings associated with the search for institutional prestige, the increase in competitiveness and the use of information technologies and artificial intelligence applied to institutional management processes. How do these policies affect institutional governance and the academic and intellectual autonomy of universities? What effects do they have on the legitimacy and institutional power of these knowledge organizations? We here buy argue that innovation is the expression of a form or stage of the neo-modernization of higher education that has implications in the relations between public policies, autonomy and university governance in Latin America
