L’organizzazione delle Università: l’autonomia tra organi di governo e articolazione interna

The essay analyzes the organization of Universities starting from the Ruberti law as the first implementation law of their autonomy and then proceeds with the analysis of the Gelmini law, which grants universities the possibility of adhering to two alternative organizational models: one experimental, never adopted in our system, the other general, which provides for a specific discipline of the governing bodies and of the internal structure. The second part of the work examines the role of the Departments as a place for carrying out research and teaching and then evaluates their relationship with the University's governing bodies, focusing on some problematic aspects of the Gelmini law.
