Implementation of Good University Governance in Private Higher Education Institutions in Indonesia

Abstract

This article describes a new idea of implementing Good University Governance (GUG). As a development of the Good Corporate Governance model, especially for higher educational institutions, GUG must be implemented differently among universities, colleges, and academies. This research aims to answer the hypotheses of the implementation of GUG to carry out quality and accountable education management using descriptive analysis and prove that those are implemented differently in any type of private higher education using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The population of this study was all private higher education institutions covering universities, colleges, and academies in Jakarta, Indonesia, selected by using the purposive sampling method. Good University Governance is measured using five dimensions: transparency, accountability, responsibility, independence, and fairness. Based on the questionnaires' results, Good University Governance has been well implemented in Universities, Colleges, and Academies. Our proposal allows for improvement in implementing GUG in the dimensions of Accountability, Responsibility, and Independence. Since there are differences in the application, those are more appropriate for universities with comprehensive management. Meanwhile, those are necessary to make simpler rules for colleges and academics, considering that the management span is not as complex as universities. The new method effectiveness evaluation is confirmed by ANOVA calculation that has significantly less than 5%. This differentiation of rules improves GUG implementation more accurately and can be used by policymakers to make different regulations for colleges and academies.
