Abstract
Expanding the capacity of higher education has been a public policy mandate in Indonesia for the past decade. The development imperative to move to a knowledge economy requires far-reaching reform of tertiary education in terms of governance and administrative leadership; quality of research, teaching, and service; and expansion to accommodate increased demand. This chapter describes a project supported by the United States Agency for International Development and carried out by a consortium of three research universities in the Midwest with the goal of strengthening leadership and management capacity for senior higher education leaders, such as heads of department, deans, rectors, and presidents. Initiatives at the national, consortium, and institutional level over a five-year period as well as results and remaining challenges are described.
I want to acknowledge the very helpful comments and corrections on earlier versions of this manuscript by Dr. Andrea Bosch and Dr. Kay Ikranagara.
