Some Improvements to Make This University Better
In order to be a good institution, improvements and developments are required to fulfill the criteria to be a good university. For example, Universitas Negeri Malang or well-known as UM has made some improvements and developments in various kinds of aspects in order to be a good university. By some developments and improvements made, this 55 year old institution has transformed into a well-developed university. On that very long period, the authorities improved this university based on three main aspects; those are bureaucracy, infrastructures, and human resources. These three aspects are still considered by them to expand our institution because of some reasons.
The first factor is bureaucracy or generally known as administration. Bureaucracy is the collective organizational structure, procedures, protocols, and set of regulations in place to manage activities in such kinds of institution. Bureaucracy is the most important thing that this university should think about. Because it handles everything which related with rules or policies that allowed in this university. Moreover, a simple and well-managed administration inside UM is going to make this body become strong and stable. Since, that kind of bureaucracy ensures UM to control everything that lies under its authorities.
Furthermore, this developing institution needs to consider about facilities inside its authority. Infrastructure is the facilities necessary for some purposes. To construct a well-structured university, UM needs to maximize and improve its facilities not only from the quantity, but also from its quality. As the number of the students in this university is increasing continuously, the authorities should think about the infrastructures quantity to accommodate their students. Also, the developments in quantity have to be followed by its level of quality. Besides, the adequate facilities and infrastructures in UM will make it turn into an independent university. Because, UM will have everything provided to generate its own need.
Lastly, those two aspects described above have to be maintained by excellent human resources inside UM. Meanwhile, in this globalization era, the requirement of good human resources must to be fulfilled by all of the institutions all over the world to compete or, at least, survive among the others. Also, Professor Oliver Wendell Holmes said, “The greatest tragedy in America is not the destruction of our natural resources, though that tragedy is great. The truly great tragedy is the destruction of our human resources by our failure to fully utilize our abilities, which means that most men and women go to their graves with their music still in them.” Because of that reasons, the authorities must have nor a neither some comprehensive selections in order to achieve good human resources. Good human resources will manage this university in a good-managed way.
In conclusion, there are still many other aspects to be watched over besides those three improvements and developments described above. But, three of them are required to be fulfilled by the authorities to assist this university, at least, to compete to be a well-developed university. Then, those improvements and developments will not work well if everyone inside this university doesn’t have the same vision.
