Summary

The bill establishes the law of the Estonian University of Life Sciences, which stipulates the university's purpose, tasks, management and funding bases. The draft is related to the draft law on higher education. The draft stipulates the responsibility of the university in areas related to the development of rural life and rural economy. The bill renews the management structure of the university by providing that the university is managed by the Council, the Senate and the Rector. According to the draft, strategic decision-makers at the university and a seven-member council including external members, whose composition is appointed by the government for five years. According to the current regulation of the University Act, the council is an academic decision-making body, in which external members are not included, and non-university members belong to the board of trustees, the composition of which is determined by the government. The bill additionally provides for a senate as the governing body of the university, which is responsible for matters of study and research and development activities. The Senate has the power to grant issue regulations and adopt decisions within their competence. The rector, as the governing body of the university and chairman of the senate, is responsible for the execution of the university's statutes, development plan and budget. The university's activities are financed from the state budget, and the basis of the financing will not be changed. Compared to the current law, the bill foresees an amendment regarding the establishment of a private school or a private research and development institution. If it is currently possible to establish it in the event that it is with a foundation, one of the founders of which is the state, then according to the draft, a private legal entity founded by a university does not have the right to establish a private school or a private research and development institution. The planned entry into force of the law is September 1, 2019. The new management model will be fully implemented from January 1, 2020.
