Good governance is strategic because it is an essential condition to maintaining institutional autonomy.
I write about university governance and provide support to my colleagues in the university sector because I want to contribute to the continuous improvement of governance practices. I believe that strengthened governance is an essential condition for institutional autonomy and that improved governance practices are necessary to combat current threats to institutional autonomy.
