Knowledge society assigns to the higher education an essential role, fully recognized both at EU level and globally. One of the latest challenges in the field of academic education aimed at reconsidering the role of universities in the society, together with improving and reshaping their boards’ organization, which means rethinking their internal order by optimizing the organization at all levels, but also by effectively coordinating the funding, administration and resources, education and research management. It seems that the optimal solution is given by the new paradigm, the governance, as an alternative model management system for higher education institutions. The governance is one of the most current approaches in the field and addresses issues related both to higher education institutions and State authorities involved in University education. A review of the university management systems on grounds of the model of corporate governance is a challenging topic of debate by the fact that currently and internally, the concept of governance in the higher education system is still considered difficult to understand and abstract, and its related issues and implications are rather complex and insufficiently treated, discussed and explained by the professional works and publications.
