  • Student Power in Medieval Universities
    • Student Power In Medieval Universities V. R. CARDOZIER Current student power efforts have precedent in medieval universities, pri­ marily at Bologna, which was a completely student-dominated university. The university government was composed of students only, except for the chancellor, a church appointee whose power was limited largely to awarding degrees. Professors were required to abide by student-approved regulations, to swear obedience to the (student) rector, and to follow procedures pre­ scribed by students in conduct of classes. Either by church or royal decree, students enjoyed privileges unknown today, such as freedom from taxation and military service, often freedom from arrest and trial in civil courts, and other considerations.

The first edition was compiled in collaboration with the Estonian Ministry of Education in 1998, the second and the third (revised) edition appeared in 2001 and 2004 respectively. This edition has been considerably revised and updated to reflect the many changes that have taken place in the course of higher education reforms in general, and in the systems of higher education cycles and qualifications in particular, including the changes in the quality assess- ment procedures. The publication is an information tool for all those concerned with higher education in its international context. It contains information about the Estonian higher education system and the higher education institutions, meant primarily for use by credential evaluation and recognition bodies, such as recognition information centres, higher education institutions and employers. This information is necessary for a better understanding of Estonian qualifications and for their fair recognition in foreign countries. Taking into account the fact that credential evaluators and competent recogni- tion authorities in other countries will come across qualifications of the former systems, this book describes not only the current higher educa- tion system and the corresponding qualifications, but also the qualifica- tions of the former systems beginning with the Soviet period.

  • The University of Bologna, We Developed the Living Values Project Into Three Steps
    Living Values Project Alma Mater Studiorum – Università di Bologna Ambassador Prof. Ella Ritchie Premise: Higher Education in Italy The main principles that lay the foundations for the Italian education system, and in particular higher education, are set down in the Italian Constitution that was adopted in 1947. Article 33 of the constitution states that “… art and science are free and the teaching thereof shall be free”. In defence of academic freedom, the article also states that all higher education institutions “have the right to establish their own regulations autonomously, within the limits set by national legislation”. Furthermore, Article 34 of the constitution establishes the principle of the right of individual citizens to higher education: “All those who can prove the necessary competency and commitment have a right to pursue the highest levels of education, regardless of their financial means.” As defined by law, the main purpose of higher education, is twofold - to promote scientific progress of the nation and to provide all citizens with education and training that will lead to employment. The following types of institution offer higher education in Italy: • universities (polytechnics included) • Higher Education in Art and Music (Alta Formazione Artistica e Musicale - AFAM) • Higher technical institutes (ITS) Universities are autonomous bodies; they adopt their own statutes, establishing their own governing bodies (such as the rector, senate, and board of management) as well as their teaching and research structures. Universities issue the following qualifications, corresponding to the Bologna Process structure (cycles). The Ministry of Education, University and Research (MIUR) is responsible for general administration at national level.
