complies  with  the  provisions  of  national  and  international  laws  and  standards

               regarding  higher  education  and  related  areas.  The  University  subscribes  to  good
               corporate governance frameworks by creating policies and monitoring mechanisms

               which ensures that the University remains compliant to laws and standards.


                 7.5.2 Improve institutional research
                 Institutional  research  promotes  institutional  effectiveness,  through  the  provision  of

                 access  to  reliable  data  and  information.  Data  is  one  of  the  most  important
                 intellectual property assets of any institution to which all are entitled to have access

                 to, for legitimate purposes except where the nature of data requires restriction. The
                 university shall continue to commit resources for institutional research to strengthen

                 its capacity to provide information for institutional planning, policy formulation, and
                 decision making.  We shall create an enabling environment for timely provision of

                 information,  acceleration  and  improvement  of  decision  making,  by  optimising
                 internal processes and increasing efficiency within the institution.



                 7.5.3 Improve internationalisation and relations with strategic partners
               UNAM will increase its international profile of students and staff through meticulously
               selected MOU’s with peer and high ranking institutions of higher learning and industry

               for  the  benefit  of  research,  staff and  student  exchange,  and by employing skilled

               expatriates. The University will address global challenges through fostering relationships
               with  international  partners,  membership  to  associations  and  participating  in

               international projects and programmes.

                 analysis, five themes emerged, namely, Institutional Sustainability; Higher Education
