Governance structure in Russia

The individual universities have become much more autonomous than they were in the previous system, but still, present day autonomy can be circumscribed for many reasons and is depending on factors such as: financial stability, leadership and management, political linkage, and institutional culture.

The 1992 Law delegated to the republics, provinces and local education authorities the responsibility for curriculum, textbooks, teaching methods, budgets, construction and equipment. HEIs gained the right to seek income from non-government sources and to engage in commercial activity. The law also confirmed the possible for private institutions to be established.

At institutional level, the management is usually performed by its elected representative body, the Council. As described in The Reform of Education in New Russia (2), "Election procedures are determined by the Charter of the institution which defines the distribution of powers between the Council and the administration; day-to-day management of the institutions is performed by its administration. The management of non-state education institutions is performed directly by the founder of the institution or, if stipulated by the founder, by a board of trustees named by it. In both cases, the board is responsible for material and technical support for the educational process and organising the supply of teaching materials. Education management has considerably increased in institutions given their new, significant independence. Today an education institution can choose how to organise its educational process, select and hire its own staff, and organise its own research, financial and economic activity."

Institution's Boards of Trustees and HEI themselves usually maintain relations with all levels of authorities, business (industry) and communities to diversify the sources of income, generate revenue and/or get financial and other kinds of support. Whereas the education process is aimed at awarding of state diploma and research process is connected with award of research degrees they should comply with the state standards approved by the Federal Government and demands of Russian Academy of Sciences.
