UNIVERSITIES PROJECT<br />
THE FIRST FOUR YEARS<br />
1997–2000
MESSAGE<br />
FROM THE<br />
PRESIDENT<br />
AND THE<br />
DIRECTOR<br />
OF THE<br />
UNIVERSITIES<br />
PROJECT<br />
This report is an overview of the first four years of the <strong>Salzburg</strong><br />
<strong>Seminar</strong>’s <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong>, which was created to help promote<br />
higher education reform in Central and East Europe and in the Russian<br />
Federation. It is also an acknowledgement and expression of gratitude to<br />
those who made this <strong>Project</strong> possible by their generosity and their spirit<br />
of volunteerism. First and foremost, we owe this initiative to the<br />
visionary and sustained commitment of the William and Flora Hewlett<br />
Foundation and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, which are funding the<br />
<strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong> and its adjunct Visiting Advisors Program,<br />
respectively. Without the generous and steady support of these two<br />
foundations, none of the activities described herein would have<br />
happened. We are also grateful for the <strong>Project</strong>’s growing number of<br />
partners and friends who have donated their time and expertise to give<br />
intellectual and practical guidance to the <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong>. The<br />
continuing counsel of the <strong>Project</strong>’s Advisory Committee has been<br />
absolutely crucial to the success of our work, as has been the support of<br />
many other individuals who have become active participants of the<br />
<strong>Project</strong>.<br />
We believe it is fair to say that, over time, the <strong>Project</strong> has become one<br />
of the most active and effective interfaces between North American and<br />
European university leaders, not only as a neutral interface, but as an<br />
active advocate of transatlantic mutual learning and understanding. The<br />
<strong>Salzburg</strong> <strong>Seminar</strong> will continue to provide a meeting place where leaders<br />
in higher education can meet, exchange views, and share experiences. We<br />
will continue to focus on the practicalities of managing modern<br />
universities. It is a pleasure for us to provide this report on the first four<br />
years of the <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong> and to share it with all who have<br />
participated in the <strong>Project</strong> thus far.<br />

Schloss Leopoldskron is<br />
home to the <strong>Salzburg</strong><br />
<strong>Seminar</strong> and the<br />
<strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong>.<br />
The <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong><br />
is made possible<br />
by a generous grant from the<br />
William and Flora Hewlett Foundation.<br />
The <strong>Salzburg</strong> <strong>Seminar</strong> is deeply grateful to the William<br />
and Flora Hewlett Foundation for its sustained support<br />
of the <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong>. Beginning with a planning<br />
grant in 1996 and continuing with program funding<br />
from 1997 to 2002, the Hewlett Foundation’s vision of<br />
and commitment to practical discussions on higher<br />
education reform has guided the work of the<br />
<strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong>.
RATIONALE<br />
It is the goal of the <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong> to help build, or rebuild, linkages between the<br />
universities in the eastern part of Europe, from Prague to Vladivostok, and their<br />
counterparts in North America and West Europe—linkages that had been cut during the<br />
time when Europe was divided and the free flow of ideas and people so essential for the<br />
academic world was disrupted. When the <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong> began in 1997, the first<br />
enthusiasm about the momentous political changes in East Europe had already started to<br />
fade and the hardships of the transition to democracy and market economies were<br />
becoming increasingly manifest. This was a timely moment to initiate a project focused<br />
on strengthening the institutional underpinnings of higher education. While many<br />
outside assistance programs had provided timely and useful support for individual<br />
scholars during the initial period of transition in Europe, the challenges faced by<br />
institutions in managing the difficult and often complex process of self-renewal<br />
remained largely unaddressed. The <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong> has been able to meet some of<br />
these needs by creating a forum for sustained dialogue about pertinent issues on<br />
institutional reform and by establishing professional networks of university leaders from<br />
East Europe and the Russian Federation with their peers from North America and West<br />
Europe.<br />
The <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong> is a multi-year series of conferences and symposia<br />
convening senior-level representatives of higher education from the designated regions<br />
with their counterparts from North America and West Europe. Initially, discussions<br />
focused on three major themes:<br />
1. University Administration and Finance<br />
HISTORY<br />
AND<br />
OVERVIEW<br />
2. Academic Structure and Governance within the University<br />
3. Meeting the Students’ Needs, and the Role of Students in Institutional Affairs<br />
As a result of discussions during the <strong>Project</strong>’s first year of programming in<br />
1997, two additional themes were adopted:<br />
4. Technology in Higher Education<br />
5. The University and Civil Society<br />
Beginning in the <strong>Project</strong>’s second year in 1998, the core topics have been<br />
framed each year within an overarching theme that represents a current and<br />
timely issue in higher education.<br />
• 1998: Institutional Autonomy: a review of higher education reform<br />
underway at universities and university systems<br />
• 1999 and 2000: Globalization and Higher Education<br />
• 2001: The Social and Civic Responsibilities of the University<br />
Between 1997 and 2000, the <strong>Salzburg</strong> <strong>Seminar</strong> held a total of fifteen <strong>Universities</strong><br />
<strong>Project</strong> symposia and three plenary convocations. During this period, more than 600<br />
individuals representing approximately 250 institutions and universities have<br />
participated in the <strong>Project</strong>. As a result of these frequent meetings, a significant<br />
transatlantic network of university leaders has developed. Additionally, more than<br />
twenty teams of volunteer consultants have visited host universities in Central and East<br />
Europe and the Russian Federation, offering their time and expertise to assist colleagues<br />
and institutions to carry out meaningful and effective reform. Although the experience<br />
and institutional context of <strong>Project</strong> participants may differ greatly, all are committed to<br />
commons goals: learning from one another how to make the higher education sector<br />
more effective in managing institutional change, supporting economic and social<br />
development, and strengthening democracy. Given the focus on transformations of<br />

higher education in Central and East Europe and in the Russian Federation, the rationale<br />
of the <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong> has expanded to include the following goals:<br />
• to deepen and broaden the understanding of the problems, achievements, and<br />
perspectives of the higher education reform process in this region;<br />
• to advance the development of a self-sustaining system of higher education in<br />
these countries;<br />
• to engage decision-makers from the participating universities in discussion on<br />
transnational trends and crucial challenges confronting higher education<br />
institutions worldwide, and to increase mutual comprehension and<br />
understanding across different national experiences; and<br />
• to develop meaningful linkages and partnerships among participants and their<br />
institutions.<br />
One of the lessons for those involved in the <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong> was the realization<br />
that universities are extremely robust and resilient institutions. While the process of<br />
reforming higher education in the post-communist countries has been halting and<br />
uneven, it is also the case that a great many universities and other institutions of higher<br />
education throughout the region continue to benefit from an extraordinary level of<br />
commitment from talented and dedicated men and women working against great odds,<br />
yet achieving considerable success. The <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong> has afforded many from<br />
outside the region with an opportunity to meet the reformers, share their concerns, and<br />
gain a better sense of the problems, accomplishments, and prospects of the higher<br />
education reform process in Central and East Europe and the Russian Federation.<br />

Council on Education, USA)<br />

the symposium’s first topic<br />

and Management of<br />

CHRONOLOGY<br />
1996<br />
The <strong>Salzburg</strong> <strong>Seminar</strong> received a planning grant from the Hewlett Foundation to<br />
develop a project to bring together top-level administrators from universities in<br />
West Europe, the USA, and Canada with their counterparts in Central and East Europe,<br />
the Russian Federation, and the Newly Independent States. Activities in 1996 included:<br />
1997<br />
• researching existing initiatives to determine the need for such a project, and its<br />
particular niche, focus, and parameters;<br />
• the hiring of a project director;<br />
• the establishment of a <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong> Advisory Committee (p. 11); and<br />
• a meeting of the Advisory Committee to lay the groundwork for the <strong>Project</strong>.<br />
The first year of programming consisted of a plenary convocation and three<br />
symposia. The January plenary meeting brought together sixty senior-level<br />
university representatives and higher education experts from Central and East Europe<br />
(CEE), West Europe, the Russian Federation, and North America. The first symposium,<br />
in March, gathered teams of rectors and senior-level administrators from eight CEE<br />
universities. The next symposium, in July, convened rectors and administrators from<br />
fifteen Russian universities. In September, the third symposium consisted of participants<br />
from nine CEE universities. All symposia included representatives from American,<br />
Canadian, and West European universities and colleges.<br />
With the advice and counsel of the Advisory Committee and friends of the <strong>Project</strong>,<br />
the following refinements were made during 1997, which have significantly enhanced<br />
the <strong>Project</strong>’s effectiveness:
1998<br />
1. Teams of administrators from the same university were invited, rather than one<br />
individual (i.e., the rector alone) as was originally proposed. The goal was (and<br />
is) to increase the likelihood that information from the symposium will “take<br />
hold” within a university.<br />
2. Separate symposia were held for CEE and Russian universities, rather than<br />
mixing institutions of the two regions at each symposium. A number of reasons<br />
contributed to this decision: a desire to allow the <strong>Project</strong> to respond to the<br />
immediate needs of two regions that face related but<br />
different concerns and challenges; a recognition that the<br />
level of English is generally not as high among Russian<br />
university administrators as it is among their CEE<br />
colleagues; and the possibility of residual political tensions<br />
from the Communist era. The decision has been a sound<br />
one and has allowed the <strong>Project</strong> to design symposia that<br />
address the specific issues and needs of the two regions.<br />
3. Related to (2.), simultaneous interpretation is provided at<br />
the Russian symposia. Though costly, it was determined<br />
that in order to fully engage Russian participation, it would<br />
be necessary to conduct the Russian programs in both<br />
Russian and English. These symposia are unique among<br />
the programs at the <strong>Salzburg</strong> <strong>Seminar</strong>, where all other<br />
events are conducted in English only.<br />
It became clear during the second year of the <strong>Project</strong> that its reputation in both regions<br />
was already strong and attractive to potential participants. The year included the<br />
following innovations:<br />
• The <strong>Project</strong> gained the support of new and influential individuals in higher<br />
education and strengthened friendships by inviting strong contributors to return<br />
for a second, and in some cases third, <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong> experience.<br />
• The <strong>Project</strong> was able to include an additional symposium (two CEE and two<br />
Russian, plus a January plenary meeting) due to supplemental funding provided<br />
by the Austrian government.<br />
• The <strong>Project</strong> secured a significant grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to<br />
underwrite the Visiting Advisors Program (VAP) for over five years, thereby<br />
providing a site-visit aspect to complement the work being done in <strong>Salzburg</strong>.<br />
The VAP is described in greater detail on pages 27–31.<br />
A total of five meetings of the <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong> took place during 1998:<br />
Plenary Convocation (January): Approximately sixty rectors, presidents, and senior<br />
representatives of higher education organizations met to review the <strong>Project</strong>’s work-todate<br />
and to discuss the upcoming year’s slate of programs.<br />
CEE Symposia (April and September): The 1998 CEE symposia continued the design<br />
established during the <strong>Project</strong>’s first year; that is, teams of three senior representatives<br />

Due to a generous grant from the Austrian Federal<br />
Ministry for Education, Science and Culture in 1998, the<br />
<strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong> was able to hold an additional<br />
symposium that year. The <strong>Salzburg</strong> <strong>Seminar</strong> acknowledges<br />
with gratitude the support of the Ministry.<br />

Director Jochen Fried, and<br />
Peter Magrath (NASULGC,<br />
USA) at the February<br />
2000 symposium.<br />
from eight to ten CEE universities met with senior university administrators and higher<br />
education specialists from West Europe and North America to discuss various aspects of<br />
higher education reform.<br />
Russian Symposia (June and December): In consultation with the <strong>Project</strong>’s Advisory<br />
Committee and with select representatives of the Russian higher education community,<br />
it was decided that two issues would serve as the foci of the 1998 Russian symposia:<br />
1. the devolution of authority of the Russian higher education system from the<br />
federal to the regional level (June symposium);<br />
2. leadership and management training (December symposium).<br />
The participant composition of the June symposium reflected the theme of the<br />
“regionalization” of the Russian higher education system, and brought together<br />
representatives of three significant educational and<br />
industrial regional centers (Voronezh, Kazan, and<br />
Novosibirsk), as well as senior-level representatives<br />
of the Russian Ministry of Education.<br />
The December symposium focused on issues of<br />
leadership and management training. Professor John<br />
Davies, pro-vice chancellor of Anglia Polytechnic<br />
University in the UK and a leader of similar seminars<br />
for the Association of European <strong>Universities</strong>, led a<br />
faculty of seven specialists who worked intensively<br />
with senior university administrators of select Russian<br />
universities.<br />
Visiting Advisors Program (VAP): From the outset of the <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong>,<br />
members of the Advisory Committee and others suggested and supported the addition of<br />
a site-visit dimension to the <strong>Project</strong>. It was felt that this would increase the value of the<br />
<strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong> in the following ways:<br />
• extend the work of the symposia in <strong>Salzburg</strong> in a concrete and applied way to<br />
the participating CEE and Russian institutions;<br />
• create extended linkages between individuals and institutions across national<br />
and regional borders;<br />
• provide a source of case study materials to be used at <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong><br />
symposia in <strong>Salzburg</strong>;<br />
• increase the possibility that specific reform suggestions and advice may “take<br />
root” and permeate CEE and Russian institutions; and<br />
• provide a multiplier effect whereby host VAP institutions might in turn work<br />
with sister institutions in their own countries to encourage higher education<br />
reform efforts.<br />
In 1998, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation awarded a grant to the <strong>Salzburg</strong> <strong>Seminar</strong> to<br />
underwrite the Visiting Advisors Program. The VAP consists of on-site visits by North<br />
American and European senior-level university administrators to CEE and Russian<br />
institutions at the invitation of the host institutions’ rectors. Teams of three to five<br />
volunteer advisors, all of whom have participated in at least one <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong><br />
symposium in <strong>Salzburg</strong>, visit host institutions for a period of four to six days. They<br />
offer advice and support on specific issues of reform identified jointly by the host<br />
institutions’ senior administration and the visiting team. After a six-month start-up<br />
period, visits commenced in December 1998.<br />
More information on the VAP may be found on pages 27–38.<br />

1999<br />
In the third full year of programming, the <strong>Project</strong>’s focus shifted from assessing<br />
change at universities to considering the effects of globalization on higher education<br />
in the context of the five main themes of the <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong>.<br />
Plenary Convocation (January): senior-level representatives of universities and higher<br />
education organizations from North America, West Europe, CEE, and the Russian<br />
Federation gathered for discussions on the following:<br />
• Globalization and Higher Education, A Keynote Overview<br />
• Globalization and National and State Systems<br />
• Globalization and the Academic Disciplines<br />
• Globalization and the Local University<br />
In addition to the plenary presentations, participants at the Plenary Convocation<br />
were divided into working groups to discuss the following topics:<br />
• Globalizing the Curriculum<br />
• The University and Global Civil Society Issues<br />
• The Clash of Cultures<br />
• New Information Technologies: Source of Fear or Hope<br />
CEE Symposia (April and October): These two symposia convened<br />
senior-level representatives of CEE universities with peers from West<br />
Europe and North America. The content mirrored that of the Plenary<br />
Convocation and focused on issues concerning the effects of<br />
globalization on higher education. Discussions at both symposia were<br />
of an extremely high caliber and reflected the timeliness and<br />
relevance of the globalization theme.<br />
Russian Symposium (July): This symposium brought together delegations from thirteen<br />
Russian universities with senior-level university representatives from North America<br />
and West Europe and was entitled “The Responsive and Innovative Russian University:<br />
<strong>Universities</strong> and their Role in National and Regional Development.” The goal was to<br />
help assist Russian universities in developing their ability to be innovative in the face of<br />
extreme resource shortages, and to assist them in assuming a leading role in the<br />
economic and social development of their regions in the context of the greater<br />
decentralization taking place in Russian higher education.<br />
Future Leaders Symposium, A New Initiative (November): One of the stated goals of<br />
the <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong> is to assist in the development of future university leaders. To<br />
this end, the <strong>Project</strong> departed from the format of previous symposia and experimented<br />
with a new format and thematic focus for the final symposium of 1999.<br />
Rather than a gathering of peers at the senior level, the November symposium<br />
featured a junior-level group of Fellows who worked closely with an invited group of<br />
senior university administrators. Selected rectors and presidents of universities who had<br />
participated in prior symposia were requested to nominate junior faculty members<br />
whom they considered to be potential leaders in higher education in the coming years.<br />
Fellows and Faculty were from the Russian Federation, Europe (East, Central, and<br />
West), and North America.<br />
The November symposium also represented a new direction for the <strong>Universities</strong><br />
<strong>Project</strong>, and the <strong>Seminar</strong> as a whole, in that the symposium report was created for<br />
posting on the <strong>Seminar</strong>’s web page, rather than the previous practice of printing the<br />
report and having it available only as a hard-copy. Symposium reports are posted at<br />

2000<br />
In 2000, the <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong> continued its focus on the globalization theme, while<br />
at the same time turning greater attention toward the development of the next<br />
generation of university leaders. The schedule of programs was changed in several<br />
significant ways:<br />
• There was no Plenary Convocation in 2000. Such gatherings were very useful<br />
during the early years of the <strong>Project</strong> but became less necessary after having<br />
compiled a lengthy list of participating universities. An additional symposium<br />
was held in 2000, which allowed all programs to focus at the pragmatic and<br />
applied level.<br />
• In July, the <strong>Seminar</strong> extended the work of the <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong> into its<br />
“Core Session” program by offering Session 379: Alternate Systems and<br />
Structures for Higher Education: Public Needs and Institutional Response for<br />
the 21st Century. As each <strong>Salzburg</strong> <strong>Seminar</strong> session typically has Fellows from<br />
thirty-five to forty countries, this session also extended the theme of<br />
“Globalization and Higher Education” to a fully international audience. The<br />
event was co-chaired by Dr. Dennis O’Brien, president emeritus, University of<br />
Rochester, New York, USA; and Dr. Jairam Reddy, former vice chancellor,<br />
University of Durban-Westville, and chair, National Commission on Higher<br />
Education, South Africa. Dr. Jochen Fried, director of the <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong>,<br />
served as director of Session 379. (This session was supported in part by<br />
<strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong> funding.)<br />
• Due to the positive results of the November 1999 symposium, a similar<br />
symposium in September 2000 was held along the same model (i.e., Faculty-<br />
Fellow format, combining Russian and CEE representation, and focusing on<br />
university leadership development). It had become apparent that<br />
there was added value to inviting future university leaders from<br />
both regions at the junior-administrative level where the common<br />
denominators of English and greater international experience serve<br />
as bridges that may not exist between their more senior colleagues.<br />
CEE Symposia (February and November): The February<br />
symposium considered the degree to which the university can<br />
encourage the process of reconciliation and the development of civil<br />
society in regions experiencing ethnic and cultural conflict, in this<br />
case Southeast Europe/former Yugoslavia. This sub-theme is<br />
consonant with the <strong>Project</strong>’s fifth core theme, “The Role of the<br />
University in Civil Society.” Three of the presentations delivered at<br />
this symposium, by Jan Sadlak, Peter Magrath, and Srbijanka<br />
Turajlic, were subsequently published in Higher Education in<br />
Europe, the quarterly review of the European Centre for Higher Education (UNESCO-<br />
CEPES, Vol. XXV, No. 2, 2000).<br />
The November symposium focused on the role of universities in the Baltic Sea<br />
region (Scandinavia, the Baltic countries, northern Poland and Germany, and northwest<br />
Russian Federation). Specifically, the symposium explored the potential of the<br />
universities in this region to be promoters and incubators of social change, economic<br />
innovation, and European integration as viewed through the prism of the globalization<br />
theme.<br />
Russian Symposium (April): This was a traditional <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong> Russian<br />
symposium that continued the work with the Russian higher education community. The<br />
symposium explored the expanding regional role of the university in the Russian
Federation, and the extent to which Russian universities may become more<br />
entrepreneurial in response to the challenges they face.<br />
Core Session 379: Alternate Systems and Structures for Higher Education: Public<br />
Needs and Institutional Response for the 21st Century (July): This was a traditional<br />
<strong>Salzburg</strong> <strong>Seminar</strong> “Core Session,” but resulted from the work of the <strong>Universities</strong><br />
<strong>Project</strong>; Fellows and Faculty from thirty-one countries discussed the evolving role of<br />
universities at the outset of the new millennium.<br />
Future Leaders Symposium (September): Based on the November 1999 symposium,<br />
this was a meeting of junior-level university administrators from North America,<br />
Europe, and the Russian Federation who were nominated by their senior-level<br />
colleagues. They met with a small faculty of senior-level administrators (university<br />
presidents and rectors) to discuss issues relating to “Globalization and the University.”<br />
2001<br />
In 2001, the <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong> adopted a new overarching theme: “The Social and<br />
Civic Responsibilities of the University,” the fifth of the <strong>Project</strong>’s five core themes.<br />
All <strong>Project</strong> symposia in 2001 will focus on this subject, while incorporating the other<br />
four core themes into the discussions.<br />
TECHNOLOGY AND THE UNIVERSITIES PROJECT<br />
From the outset, technology has been envisioned as a significant aspect of the <strong>Project</strong><br />
in order to disseminate its work to as broad an audience as possible. The following<br />
components are either currently in place or are being planned:<br />
• Website: the <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong> features a full and expansive website within the<br />
<strong>Seminar</strong>’s web domain. Information regarding past and future symposia may be<br />
obtained from this site. Texts of presentations and related articles may be<br />
downloaded from the <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong> Library: www.salzburgseminar.org/up<br />
• Electronic reports: as mentioned above, the decision was made in late 1999 to<br />
post all <strong>Project</strong> reports since 1999 on the <strong>Project</strong>’s website so that they may be<br />
accessed worldwide. Printed versions are created only as a derivative of the<br />
electronic version and then only as necessary.<br />
• Electronic newsletter: an online newsletter is currently being established to be<br />
e-mailed to all who have participated in the <strong>Project</strong>. This resource, which will<br />
be updated monthly and posted on the <strong>Project</strong> website, will be a repository of<br />
current information on higher education issues of interest to the <strong>Universities</strong><br />
<strong>Project</strong> community—notices of upcoming conferences; newly established<br />
programs; announcements of foundation grants; notices of recently published<br />
papers, articles, books; updates on higher education legislation, etc. Readers<br />
will be invited to submit postings to be added to the site.<br />
• Electronic discussion group of higher education papers: a series of<br />
discussion groups in which a friend of the <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong> will post a<br />
recent paper written by him or her is being proposed. A controlled group of<br />
<strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong> alumni will be invited to read, comment, and chat on-line<br />
with the author for one to two weeks. This proposed program allows for the<br />
continuation of interactions between <strong>Project</strong> participants who meet in <strong>Salzburg</strong>,<br />
encourages <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong> alumni to post new scholarly material, and<br />
refreshes itself with the introduction of new material each month or so.<br />
• E-symposia: <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong> staff are investigating the possibility of<br />
holding a version of an on-line symposium in 2002.<br />
“I firmly believe the<br />
<strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong><br />
and the Visiting<br />
Advisors Program,<br />
are furthering needed<br />
changes in universities<br />
vital to their<br />
countries, and also<br />

INITIATIVES RESULTING FROM THE<br />
UNIVERSITIES PROJECT<br />
One of the hallmarks of the <strong>Salzburg</strong> <strong>Seminar</strong> in its fifty-three-year history has been<br />
its ability to convene individuals from a wide variety of geographical and<br />
professional backgrounds for the purpose of frank, open, and mutually respectful<br />
dialogue in the neutral confines of Schloss Leopoldskron. This tradition has extended to<br />
the <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong> as well.<br />
The atmosphere at <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong> symposia is characterized by a clear<br />
appreciation of the fact that the diversity of higher education systems in various<br />
countries is a valuable asset, and that for<br />
existing problems there is no single solution,<br />
no single recipe at hand that could be applied<br />
universally. It is the open exchange about<br />
differences and commonalities that is central to<br />
the <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong>’s mission, and many<br />
symposia participants have created<br />
relationships and interacted with counterparts<br />
from other parts of the world in a way that<br />
would not have been possible otherwise. It is<br />
due to the nature of the <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong><br />
that there cannot be an inventory of lasting<br />
contacts, on-going collaboration, or joint<br />
projects. But there is no doubt that the<br />
symposia have served as a catalyst initiating<br />
numerous formal and informal linkages.<br />
In some cases, either directly or indirectly, new initiatives have sprung up from<br />
conversations, relationships, or ideas that have taken root at a <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong><br />
symposium. Below are brief descriptions of such initiatives, which demonstrate the<br />
multiplier effect of the <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong>.<br />
<strong>Salzburg</strong> <strong>Seminar</strong> Core Session 379: Alternate Systems and Structures for<br />
Higher Education: Public Needs and Institutional Response for the 21st<br />
Century (July 1–8, 2000)<br />
In order to extend the issues considered at <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong> symposia to a fully<br />
global (and traditional <strong>Salzburg</strong> <strong>Seminar</strong>) audience, the <strong>Seminar</strong> offered a joint Core<br />
Session/<strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong> program. Drawing on the <strong>Seminar</strong>’s long history of sessions<br />
on higher education as well as on the recent experience of its <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong>, this<br />
session explored the changing perceptions and new institutional paradigms necessary to<br />
keep higher education responsive to rapidly changing societal needs. The session involved<br />
Faculty and Fellows from previous core sessions on higher education and <strong>Universities</strong><br />
<strong>Project</strong> symposia, as well as Fellows selected through the standard application process.<br />

<strong>Salzburg</strong> <strong>Seminar</strong> Special Session: Dartmouth College Conference Series on<br />
Globalization and Higher Education (June 27–30, 2001)<br />
Dartmouth College, in consultation with the <strong>Salzburg</strong> <strong>Seminar</strong>’s <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong>,<br />
is coordinating a series of conferences that will examine both the impact of globalization<br />
on American higher education and the role of colleges and universities in the new<br />
millennium. The goal of the conference series is to create a White Paper that can help<br />
guide university decision-makers as they begin incorporating globalization issues into their<br />
institutions’ mission, curricula, infrastructure, and research. An initial planning meeting<br />
was held at Schloss Leopoldskron in August 1999. As a result, Dartmouth College has<br />
invited leading American institutions to two conferences in Hanover, New Hampshire, one<br />
in November 2000 and the second in October 2001, that will examine the topic of<br />
globalization by framing the key issues and by pointing to possible strategies for<br />
addressing them. At the June 2001 meeting in <strong>Salzburg</strong>, the resulting<br />
draft document will be reviewed and critiqued by international<br />
representatives of leading higher education institutions to address the<br />
needs of the global academic community more effectively. The final<br />
White Paper will be distributed internationally as the basis for a<br />
continued dialogue with the larger academic community.<br />
<strong>Salzburg</strong> <strong>Seminar</strong> Special Session: Higher Education in<br />
Emerging Economies: Patterns, Policies, and Trends into<br />
the 21st Century (July 7–11, 2001)<br />
This special session, developed in collaboration with the<br />
Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Ford Foundation, The<br />
Henry Luce Foundation, and The Rockefeller Foundation, will<br />
bring together leading higher education specialists and senior<br />
university administrators to discuss the evolving nature and role of<br />
higher education in developing countries. The purposes of the<br />
symposium are to review available information about patterns,<br />
policies, and trends in higher education; identify current human capital and institutional<br />
resources engaged in higher education analysis; and brainstorm about actions that could<br />
help national and international institutions perform more effectively to meet future<br />
challenges.<br />
UNESCO-CEPES Conference<br />
Since Dr. Jan Sadlak, a member of the <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong> Advisory Committee,<br />
has assumed the position of director of the UNESCO-CEPES (European Centre for<br />
Higher Education) in Bucharest, Romania, special efforts have been made to maximize<br />
the synergies between this organization and the <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong>. The first result of<br />
such efforts took place from April 12 to 15, 2000, at Schloss Leopoldskron in the form<br />
of an Invitational Meeting on “Ten Years After and Looking Ahead: A Review of the<br />
<strong>Salzburg</strong> <strong>Seminar</strong> President<br />
Olin Robison and<br />

CEPES) on the<br />

“The <strong>Universities</strong><br />
<strong>Project</strong> brings together<br />
individuals who have a<br />
common concern for<br />
the well-being of their<br />
institutions, while<br />
respecting the qualities<br />
that reflect different<br />
histories of higher<br />
education, different<br />
cultures, and different<br />
responses to similar<br />
challenges—all these<br />
differences are what<br />
make our discussions<br />
within the <strong>Universities</strong><br />
<strong>Project</strong> so stimulating,<br />
instructive, and<br />
worthwhile.”<br />

Transformations of Higher Education in Central and Eastern Europe.” The purpose of<br />
this meeting was to critique a book-length manuscript consisting of thirteen case studies<br />
on institutional reform. It was supplemented by a synthesis report on the main themes<br />
and topics, written by Peter Scott, vice-chancellor of Kingston University, UK, that<br />
characterized the development of higher education in this region since 1989. The book<br />
has since been published under the same title (Bucharest 2000, ISBN 92-9069-159-X).<br />
An excerpt from the book preface reads:<br />
“A preliminary draft of Professor Scott’s synthesis and six of the case studies (…)<br />
were the objects of a special discussion at an expert seminar (…) jointly organized by<br />
UNESCO-CEPES and the <strong>Salzburg</strong> <strong>Seminar</strong>, specifically within its <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong>.<br />
The comments and suggestions made at this three-day meeting regarding the<br />
transformation of higher education in Central and Eastern Europe are reflected<br />
principally in Professor Scott’s synthesis. The <strong>Salzburg</strong> <strong>Seminar</strong> <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong>,<br />
consisting of a multi-year series of conferences and symposia on systemic and<br />
institutional changes in governance, academic design, structure, and mission in higher<br />
education in Central and Eastern Europe, the Russian Federation, and the other<br />
successor states of the Soviet Union, was a logical partner for the organization of this<br />
seminar given the complementarity of its principal objectives and those of UNESCO-<br />
CEPES.”<br />
Estonia <strong>Project</strong><br />
At the March 1997 symposium of the <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong>, Dr. Arno Loessner,<br />
senior policy fellow at the University of Delaware’s Institute for Public Administration,<br />
met a group of senior administrators from Tartu University of Estonia. Dr. Loessner,<br />
who has extensive experience in university foundation administration, spoke at length<br />
with the Tartu delegation at the Plenary Convocations in March 1997 and later in<br />
January 1998 about the possible establishment of a foundation in support of the<br />
university. From those early conversations has grown a significant project involving<br />
funding from The World Bank’s Fiscal Decentralization Initiative. The project has<br />
resulted in the establishment of the Saaremaa Foundation, a consortium of Estonian<br />
universities. The Foundation, along with the International Union of Local Authorities<br />
(IULA), a world-wide organization of local governments and the University of<br />
Delaware, is developing a program of training and research to support local fiscal<br />
decentralization in Estonia.<br />
POSSIBLE EXTENSION OF THE<br />
UNIVERSITIES PROJECT TO OTHER REGIONS<br />
There has been enormous interest in the work of the <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong> among the<br />
<strong>Salzburg</strong> <strong>Seminar</strong>’s extensive global network of alumni, friends, and supporters. It<br />
is clear that the issues being discussed at the <strong>Project</strong> in regard to CEE and Russian<br />
higher education are equally relevant to higher education systems in other regions of the<br />
world. Many contacts of the <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong> have expressed a strong interest in<br />
seeing the work of the <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong> extended to other countries and regions.<br />
As a result, the <strong>Salzburg</strong> <strong>Seminar</strong> is beginning to look into the feasibility of a<br />
possible Phase II of the <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong> in which its work would be extended to<br />
other regions. Areas under consideration include parts of Asia, the Middle East, Latin<br />
America, and Anglophone Africa.<br />
The feasibility of extending the <strong>Project</strong> to other regions will continue to be explored<br />
during the remainder of the <strong>Project</strong>’s current funding (through 2002). Such an extension<br />
of the <strong>Project</strong> could only be undertaken if funding became available.

with regard to<br />
globalization and<br />
the future of the<br />
universities.<br />
Of equal importance<br />
was the opportunity<br />
to share ideas and<br />
establish a network<br />
with colleagues from<br />
East and Central<br />
Europe, Russia,<br />
and the United<br />
States. This<br />
networking will<br />
facilitate future joint<br />
projects.”<br />

BACKGROUND AND DEVELOPMENT<br />
From the outset of the <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong>, an additional component of site visits was<br />
planned that would encourage the higher education reform process, and complement<br />
the discussions at symposia in <strong>Salzburg</strong>. This new initiative, called the Visiting Advisors<br />
Program (VAP), began in 1998 through generous funding from the W.K. Kellogg<br />
Foundation. The VAP sends teams of North American and West and East European<br />
university presidents and higher education experts, who volunteer their time and<br />
expertise, to conduct site visits at selected participating universities and assist them in<br />
the process of institutional self-assessment and change. The overall goal of the program<br />
is to provide practical advice and recommendations to institutions of higher education,<br />
which are coping with the challenges presented by administering the modern university.<br />
From the beginning, the decision was made to involve both advisors and host<br />
institutions in the VAP from among those who had participated in <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong><br />
symposia in <strong>Salzburg</strong>. In September 1998, a letter was mailed to all North American and<br />
West European <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong> alumni, inviting them to volunteer to travel as a<br />
team member to a requesting institution in Central or East<br />
Europe, the Russian Federation, or the Newly Independent<br />
States. At the same time, a letter was sent to rectors and<br />
other senior-level representatives of higher education<br />
institutions who had participated in <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong><br />
symposia, inviting them to submit a request for a consultant<br />
visit. The goal was for the consultant team to spend three to<br />
five days at the host institution to provide advice and<br />
recommendations on specific institutional concerns<br />
identified in advance by the requesting university. The<br />
response from both potential advisors and host institutions<br />
was immediate and enthusiastic. To date, more than 100<br />
senior-level educational experts have confirmed their<br />
willingness to participate in the Visiting Advisors Program.<br />
Among them are current and former presidents and<br />
chancellors of universities and colleges, and high-level university educators and<br />
administrators from North America, and West and East Europe. More than thirty<br />
universities in Central and East Europe and the Russian Federation have indicated their<br />
interest in hosting a consultant team. Between December 1998 and December 2000,<br />
twenty-three teams, each consisting of three to five members, traveled to universities in<br />
Central and East Europe and the Russian Federation.<br />
The Visiting Advisors Program<br />
of the <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong><br />
is made possible by a generous grant from the<br />
W.K. Kellogg Foundation.<br />

Thanks to the generosity and vision of the<br />
W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong> has<br />
been able to add this valuable site-visit component,<br />
which complements <strong>Project</strong> discussions in <strong>Salzburg</strong>.<br />

“The Visiting<br />
Advisors Program<br />
opens up new<br />
opportunities for<br />
meaningful change in<br />
higher education<br />
institutions in<br />
Central and Eastern<br />
Europe and Russia.<br />
Experts from all<br />
countries can freely<br />
debate their<br />
professional<br />
experiences.”<br />

GOALS<br />
From the perspective of the <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong> and its Visiting Advisors, there are<br />
two main purposes for a consultant team’s work:<br />
• to provide advice to senior-level colleagues at the host institution on academic<br />
and administrative changes that seem promising as ways to solve problems,<br />
improve operations, or achieve objectives that the host university has identified<br />
for consideration; and<br />
• to offer advice on progressive reforms that will enable the host universities to<br />
play a leadership role in the economic and social advancement of their<br />
respective nations.<br />
There are also two secondary purposes from the point of view of the visiting team<br />
members:<br />
• professionally, they seek to gain insights that will expand their understanding<br />
of higher education in a global context and provide new analytical perspectives<br />
on their own institutions and national systems; and<br />
• personally, they are provided with an opportunity to visit a part of the world of<br />
interest to them.<br />
The leaders of the host institution who choose to request a team of Visiting<br />
Advisors also have multiple expectations from such a visit. Such expectations include,<br />
but are not limited to:<br />
• the promotion of administrative improvement (e.g., in budgeting and revenue<br />
procurement, human resource management, and the development of technology<br />
in higher education);<br />
• the fostering of academic advancement (e.g., through interdisciplinary<br />
programming, instructional approaches, and international linkages);<br />
• political enhancement (e.g., internally through legitimatising developments<br />
promoted by institutional leaders, and externally through credibility accorded<br />
by governmental authorities);<br />
• profile raising (e.g., by scheduling press conferences and media interviews with<br />
Visiting Advisors); and<br />
• status building (e.g., through this visible linkage to the prestigious <strong>Salzburg</strong><br />
<strong>Seminar</strong>).<br />
In order to help facilitate the host institution in attaining these goals, John Davies<br />
(Anglia Polytechnic University, UK) identified four elements of the VAP advisor role:<br />
• Mirror: reflecting back views of the organization and its phenomena<br />
• Revealer: identification of possible shortcomings in the institution against<br />
either its declared mission/strategy or international good practice, or both<br />
• Resource: presentation of information from other settings<br />
• Catalyst: inspiration to institution to consider different approaches<br />
TOWARD IMPROVEMENT AND CONTINUATION<br />
From the outset, this has been an experimental program, and adaptations and<br />
improvements to the organizational process were made as lessons learned were put<br />
into practice. For example, during initial visits:<br />
• the consultant team learned that it should receive more, and focused,<br />
preliminary information both about the host institution itself and its specific<br />
institutional concerns;
• the host institution should provide a detailed advance agenda with a stated<br />
purpose for each meeting; and<br />
• future consultant visits should commence with a meeting with the rector of the<br />
host institution to provide the framework for the visit, and conclude with a final<br />
session with the rector, at which the team’s preliminary report is presented.<br />
These and other such recommendations provided the basis for the creation of<br />
detailed guidelines for both the host institution and the advisors; the implementation of<br />
these guidelines, which were submitted to the <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong> Advisory Committee<br />
members for their comment and additions, have improved the efficiency and quality of<br />
the more recent team visits.<br />
Other important lessons learned during the first year of the program included:<br />
• The absolute necessity to limit the scope of each visit. When indicating the<br />
areas of institutional concern to be addressed during a consultant visit, most<br />
host institutions initially requested advice on a wide range of issues, from<br />
academic governance to revenue procurement, and from accreditation to the<br />
use of technology in education. Host institutions are currently asked to specify<br />
a limited number of areas that they would like the team to address during the<br />
three to five day visit.<br />
• The team should include a senior education<br />
expert from Central or East Europe. Although<br />
most of the initial visits included a<br />
representative from West Europe, it became clear<br />
that the challenges faced by institutions in<br />
Central and East Europe and the Russian<br />
Federation are in many ways vastly different<br />
from those in western countries, and the<br />
presence of a team member familiar with the<br />
concerns of similar institutions is of great benefit<br />
to the host institution. Efforts are currently being<br />
made to accommodate this request.<br />
• The efficient administration of all components of<br />
the program is not only a rewarding task, but also an extremely labor-intensive<br />
exercise. The coordination of the flow of information between the host institution<br />
and the team members, coordination of travel arrangements, staff presence on<br />
most consultant teams, writing/editing team reports, and follow-up activity with<br />
team members and host institutions has involved a number of <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong><br />
staff members for varying amounts of time. It appears that with the current<br />
staffing for the VAP, eight to ten consultant visits per year are the maximum that<br />
can be undertaken and still maintain a high degree of efficiency and quality.<br />
Considerable thought has been given to ways in which the Visiting Advisors<br />
Program can build upon the excellent momentum established to date. Clearly,<br />
continuing liaisons between the host universities and the team members who have<br />
traveled there is a high priority, and one that staff will continue to encourage. It has<br />
been suggested that important continuity in the program would be achieved by sending<br />
some or all team members from a team on a return visit to the university to assess the<br />
progress towards implementation of recommendations made. The first of such follow-up<br />
visits took place in May 2001, with the same team members, to a university that was<br />
first visited in 1999. Another possibility would be to capitalize upon the knowledge<br />
gained of a particular country’s system of higher education by sending the same team<br />
members to another host institution in the same country. As a work in progress,<br />
continuing efforts are being made to ascertain ways in which the original goals can be<br />
achieved and expanded.<br />

The extremely positive feedback received from virtually all host institutions has<br />
been gratifying. Indications show that the visits are extremely productive and highly<br />
appreciated by the host university for their practical<br />
suggestions and recommendations for institutional selfassessment<br />
and change. While the longer-term effects<br />
of the visits remain to be seen, it is clear that<br />
substantive discussions on specific issues of university<br />
management, governance, finance and budgeting,<br />
technology, student affairs, and relations with the<br />
larger society are taking place in all cases. A less<br />
tangible but equally valuable benefit is also emerging<br />
from the visits: visiting team members from the USA,<br />
Canada, and Europe are indicating that they, and by<br />
extension, their institutions, are gaining great benefit<br />
and insight through their contact with their colleagues<br />
from the East. It is clear that the VAP promotes<br />
learning in both directions.<br />
The Visiting Advisors Program has proven to be an extremely valuable additional<br />
component to the <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong>, complementing and extending the work begun in<br />
<strong>Salzburg</strong> during the symposia. Host institutions greatly appreciate the opportunity to<br />
address their institutional concerns through the eyes of their peers in a joint effort<br />
designed to benefit both the host institution and the team members. The resulting mutual<br />
learning experience is one of the fine rewards of the Visiting Advisors Program.<br />
CASE STUDY: VAP TRIP TO THE BUDAPEST UNIVERSITY<br />
OF TECHNOLOGY AND ECONOMICS (BUTE)<br />
In early April 2000, a team of senior university administrators and higher education<br />
experts from the US, Poland, and Austria visited BUTE for five days of conversation<br />
and consultation. During their visit, the team worked closely with senior-level<br />
administrators of BUTE on the following issues (identified in advance by the BUTE<br />
vice rector and his colleagues):<br />
• university administration and finance, including renewal of infrastructure<br />
• academic structure and governance<br />
• university strategic plan<br />
• tuition fees policy<br />
• development of information technology resources<br />
• human resources policy<br />
• the role of students in institutional affairs<br />
Vice Rector Professor George Horvai made these comments on some of the lasting<br />
effects of the VAP visit to BUTE:<br />
“During the past three years of my vice rectorship, we have had several consulting<br />
and advisory visits here, mostly concluding in advice on how we could further cut our<br />
spending. The VAP team was among the few to show possible ways and means of<br />
potentially increasing our income.<br />
In contrast to the rigid academic structures of the traditional European universities,<br />
and the almost frozen state of the Eastern Bloc due to decades of bureaucracy, the free<br />
atmosphere and initiation of a mobile, managerial spirit from the team members have<br />
been very encouraging.
Moreover, our meetings in <strong>Salzburg</strong> at various events of the <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong><br />
have helped to reestablish loosened contacts with colleagues from Russia, from other<br />
countries of the former Soviet Union, and even with university leaders from our closest<br />
neighbors, such as Slovakia and Romania.”<br />
VAP Team Leader Thomas Bartlett, chairman of the United States–Japan Foundation<br />
and former chancellor of the State University of New York System, shared his<br />
thoughts on the experience:<br />
“I can think of no<br />
experience in higher<br />
education that hour for hour<br />
teaches one more about<br />
contemporary universities<br />
than being part of a Visiting<br />
Advisors team outside one’s<br />
home region. For the team,<br />
the visit to BUTE was a<br />
fascinating challenge, in part<br />
because it made all of us<br />
think fundamentally about<br />
what is happening in many<br />
universities regardless of<br />
national borders or region. I<br />
believe we all felt that we<br />
were serving a purpose<br />
beyond our parochial<br />
concerns, higher learning<br />
itself.”<br />
Below are several of the recommendations included in the Visiting Advisors’ final<br />
report to the Rector of BUTE that have been implemented successfully, as<br />
described by Vice Rector Horvai:<br />
Strategic Planning: The process that had only begun when the team was in<br />
Budapest has been vigorously continued, with committees at work on the<br />
technical details.<br />
Leadership: A small “innovation fund” to support and provide incentives for good<br />
ideas wherever they emerge on campus has been realized, and the first awards<br />
have been received by winners of an internal competition.<br />
Financial Planning: The Council of Deans has prepared the 2001 budget according<br />
to ideas set forth by the VAP team.<br />
External Affairs: The University hired an experienced senior advisor for<br />
international affairs who is actively coordinating the hitherto dispersed<br />
activities in this field.<br />
Relations to the Private Sector: Meetings have been organized to bring together<br />
potential Hungarian and international sponsors with university professors active<br />
in the same field.<br />

The <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong> and the<br />

Benson for his leadership of and<br />
commitment to the <strong>Universities</strong><br />
<strong>Project</strong>. Ray served as director of the<br />

the <strong>Project</strong> is due in no small part to<br />
Ray’s vision, experience, dedication<br />

with the <strong>Universities</strong> <strong>Project</strong> and the<br />
<strong>Salzburg</strong> <strong>Seminar</strong> wish Ray well in<br />
his retirement, and look forward to<br />
seeing him again in <strong>Salzburg</strong> at the<br />
November 2001 symposium.
