Rethinking University Autonomy In Malaysia

Universiti Malaya is intent to break free from federal funding, aiming for full control over governance, admissions, and finance. But with laws like AUKU still intact, questions remain about how far autonomy can realistically go. And what does “true autonomy” really look like in the Malaysian context today? Joining us to discuss this further is Dr. Wan Chang Da, former Director of National Higher Education Research Institute (IPPTN).
