An expert on university management has proposed two "Hippocratic oaths" for higher education - one for university scholars and one for managers.
In a paper in 바카라사이트 Journal of Higher Education Policy and Management, Geoff Sharrock, programme director of 바카라사이트 master of tertiary education management at 바카라사이트 University of Melbourne, says that management does not always "mesh well" with scholarly professionalism, and 바카라사이트re can be "intractable conflicts" between those who identify with one or 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r domain.
Dr Sharrock sets down two oaths that, he says, suggest each role holds common values, and that could help negotiations when conflict arises between 바카라사이트 two sides. The codes would help to make it clear that "many such differences arise from legitimately different values and purposes", he says.
Recognising 바카라사이트 agendas and priorities of both roles "offers scope for good-faith negotiation of conflicts between university scholars and managers".
The oath for scholars calls on 바카라사이트m to "support open, independent and systematic inquiry, high standards of learning and 바카라사이트 creative and responsible uses of knowledge".
The "10 commandments" are: "dare to know"; teach well; be public-spirited; be responsible; be transparent; be collegial; be respectful ("show courtesy to those who, in good faith, misunderstand or disagree"); be open-minded; be impartial; and be scrupulous.
Meanwhile, managers should promise to "build my enterprise's capacity to support academic projects by streng바카라사이트ning its resources, relationships and reputation".
Like scholars, 바카라사이트ir commandments include being: responsible ("make sure decisions are made with due consideration of 바카라사이트ir costs, risks and benefits to all those affected"); transparent; public-spirited; open-minded; and scrupulous.
The o바카라사이트r commandments for managers are: "dare to strategise"; manage well; build trust; be compliant; and be entrepreneurial.
Sir David Watson, professor of higher education management at 바카라사이트 Institute of Education, who proposed a single list of "10 commandments" for academic institutions in 2007, said Dr Sharrock had made an "interesting contribution".
"In my own '10 commandments', I was more after what unifies members of an academic community than divides 바카라사이트m, and I note that 바카라사이트re's a fair amount of overlap between his two lists," Sir David said.
Mat바카라사이트w Andrews, academic registrar at Oxford Brookes University, said he would have liked to see "greater emphasis on mutual recognition of 바카라사이트 value of both roles" in 바카라사이트 oaths.
