The autonomy of the HEIs and its limits is an object of constant discussions and inquiries. The question that is also researched and accentuated is the relationship between the autonomy of HEIs and the accountability to the society according to certain criteria. The financing aspect of higher education is also one of the most problematic aspects in the system of higher education. None of the models applied for the financing of higher education and measures chosen in Lithuania was able to ensure the accessibility of studies, quality, nor could attract qualified pedagogical personnel. It is stated that insufficient financing of higher education has direct influence on other dimensions of higher education system. If the universities are not granted autonomy, they cannot be innovative and react effectively to social and economic changes, they are not able to correspond to social and economic needs of the state that cannot fulfil expectations of the students to achieve better quality of life. The aim of the paper is to analyse the impact of the financing method of higher education institutions chosen by the state on economic activities of the HEIs and their financial autonomy. In the first part of the paper the trends of the financing of the system of Lithuanian higher education are analysed. The second part of the paper analyses the impact of state financing on institutional autonomy of HEIs. The third part reveals the significance of financial autonomy of HEIs and its impact on the economics of higher education.
In the twenty-first century, social, environmental and technological challenges demand new knowledge and educational innovations. University has become an organization which has an objective to operate more efficiently in relation to transformations to sustainability. Businesses (in a wider sense: employers) and universities should take specific steps in order to intensify the cooperation in producing sustainability informed professional who will be able to engage with the economic and social dimensions of sustainability. The purpose of this paper is to conceptualize competence for sustainability as the prevention of disbalance in higher education. The case of cooperation while educating future law enforcement officers is at the focus of analysis. The methodology of this study relies on two baselines. Our first baseline for further analysis is the statement that sustainability informed professionals may only be educated if a sustainable education in higher education is an overarching reality. Firstly, the concept of sustainability is explored using descriptive methodology. Secondly, the forms of manifestation of sustainability will be presented through the lens of examples: the case study of Lithuania, illustrated by experiences of two Lithuanian universities. The conclusions reached are as following: only the balanced education of all the enumerated (and may be even more) sub competencies may lead to a sustainability-informed professional. It is important not to emphasize instrumental sub competence at the expense of personal or social development of a student/future professional. Secondly some forms of university-business/employer collaboration are more productive for educating certain sub competen-JEL classification: I28; P36; F64.
