In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, universities around the globe
have taken numerous extraordinary measures and implemented many
changes to their strategic, operational, and academic activities.
Currently, there is a transformation taking place from the
emergency decision-making in the early stages of the pandemic
towards reflection and resolution on how the past months can shape
governance and strategy. Higher education institutions have been
facing challenges with the alignment of their university governance
for their strategic and operational plans. Presently, university
leaders have prioritized risk management and financial management
over all else. Unfortunately, due to these priorities, university
responses to the pandemic took the top-down approach of management,
rejecting the shared governance structures and collegial practices
of the institutions. The pandemic has accelerated the openness to
change by creating an emergency or steering response team led by
university presidents and provosts, with sub-teams focusing on
operations and other academic advisory groups working together to
deal with the fast-rising scenarios. The consequence is a clear
flow of information and strong communication across the
institution, which sequentially builds on mechanisms to respond to
the secondary effects of the pandemic. Moreover, higher education
institutions are continuously facing challenges with their
strategic alignment of business objectives in order to have a
diverse educational system in response to the pandemic. Assessing
