Models of Academic Governance during a Period of Nation-Building: The Hebrew University in the 1920s-1960s
Cohen, Uri; Sapir, Adi
History of Education, v45 n5 p602-620 2016
This paper explores the development of the structures of university governance at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem between the 1920s and 1960s. The model that ultimately prevailed, a "state-sponsored model" of governance, dominated the higher education system in Israel until the early 2000s and was characterised by the dominance of academic faculty, a status that the government accorded to the faculty in exchange for their acceptance of the state's normative vision for universities' role in society. Two main governance models that were instituted at the HU are identified: (1) the "Diaspora university," 1925-1950, a distinctive governance model that emerged in the pre-state period and was controlled by Jewish communities in the Diaspora, and (2) the "state university," 1950s-2000s, which shifted the centre of gravity to the state. These models are further divided into sub-models and the processes described through which academic autonomy was institutionalised during a period of nation-building.
