Greater freedom for universities and other higher education institutions ToR. 2007:158

An Inquiry is to present proposals for one or more organisational forms for state universities and other higher education institutions covered by the Higher Education Act (1992:1434). Based on the proposals on organisational forms that are presented, the Inquiry is to propose how state control of universities and higher education institutions is to be structured. The point of departure for these proposals will be the need to increase the autonomy of higher education institutions while providing for the interests of the state in being able to govern and control parts of higher education that are important to it. The Inquiry is to report its findings no later than 5 December 2008.
