Equitable
Access, Success and Quality in Higher Education: A Policy Statement by
the International Association of Universities advocates a number of
key
principles upheld by IAU and includes recommendations for both higher
education institutions and governments. It is the result of a
broad-based consultation among IAU Members and experts, which probably
explains the ease with which the Statement was approved and adopted at
the 13th
IAU General Conference, July 15-18, 2008 in Utrecht, the Netherlands.
This newest IAU Policy Statement is being widely disseminated to IAU
Members as well as to all national, regional and international
associations of universities, IAU invites endorsement of the Statement
by those
interested and committed to its principles. The Statement has
also been sent to UNESCO in the hope that its substance may provide
input to the deliberations and final outcomes of the World Conference
on Higher Education, being planned by UNESCO’s Higher Education
Division for July 2009, in Paris, France.
The Policy Statement has been endorsed by the following:
- American Council on
Education (ACE)
- American Association
of Community Colleges (AACC)
- The Association of
African Universities (AAU)
- Association of Arab
Universities (AArU)

National Universities of Taiwan, China, Taiwan
