- Abstract
- The proposal consists in involving former students, or alumni, in university governance. The governing body of the university determines its strategy and its missions and is responsible for financial decisions, audit, estate, and human resources. I suggest that, in order to take long-termist decisions, the governing body should include a significant proportion of current and former students (say, 50 per cent), in addition to professional administrators, faculty members, researchers, and support staff representatives. To be considered an alumnus, one should have graduated in the university. Students and alumni representatives would be democratically elected by those they represent.
