Merger Framework Higher Education Act (Act 101 of 1997) Standard Institutional Statute Guidelines for Merger and Incorporations by the Ministry of Education – April 2003
GOVERNANCE PRINCIPLES • “It is vital to the success of mergers and incorporations that there is accountable and effective governance and management at all times. • The challenge is to ensure good governance and management even while the governance and management structures are themselves subject to change. • Institutions must be run effectively throughout the process, and at no stage should there be any vacuum in governance and management. • What makes this complex is that the governance and management structures of the institutions have the responsibility for day-to-day management, for merging their own structures, and for driving the change process as a whole
FUNDAMENTAL QUESTIONS • What are the separate roles and responsibilities of the governance and management structures? • What are the central issues with which they must deal in the different phases, including arrangements that need to be put in place to ensure a smooth transition from the old institutions to the new institution? • How should a smooth transition from one set of governance and management structures to the next be effected?
