    Posted: 03-Apr-2007 at 14:02

Hello everybody.

I am conducting a comparative research on Public Higher Education (universities, faculties etc). I know that some of you could find no interess in these issues, but I am otherwise sure that some of you do, and I need your help.
If you have any information regarding the Law (or laws) who rule the system of public higher education in your country, please let me know, post me some links, or the law, or your comment on it.
*by public I mean - not private, owned and controled by the state.
 
thank you in advance

In the U.S. it is different from state to state.

California

This site with information about California also has links to the Department of Education and to the different higher education systems.

Roughly, California has a two tier public system: University of California and California State University.
University of California is the higher tier, and it accepts, by law, the highest percentage of graduates. The State University system is supposed to accept about 20%, but I am not sure.

There is also a third tier which is the Community College. The community college plays many roles, such as providing higher education, technical degrees, adult education, and remedial education. In Mexico, there are institutions taking care of these roles.

Thank you Norman and Hugoestr, it was a big help indeed.
 
I would be interested more specifically in the indipendence of the public universities, how is that applied, how wide that is, concerning financial issues, and academical issues. In other words, how much is the public educational system centralised, and who controls it institutionally.
How is the academical staff elected, how do universities allocate their funds etc etc.
I know that in Greece they have a very interesting status for the Public Universities, there exists a "Sanctuary Law", but I dont know the details.
I would be very interested also in other models, from other countries.

Academic freedom

This article deals mainly with American academic freedom, although it mentions other countries as well.

I don't actually think it will but it was the closest I could find. You might want to lurk around on the site.

In Hong Kong, there are nine universities,and some colleges which some course will be recognized as degree programme, the income of the universties mostly from government , and a broad of directors will distribute the money, now private income playing a more and more important role.
