KONSENTRASI DAN KUALITAS PERGURUAN TINGGI SWASTA DI KOPERTIS WILAYAH XII

Abstract

In an effort to improve the strength of the nation to compete
through higher education, this study was taken with an objective to
know the concentration and quality of private universities under the
Region XII Private University Coordinative Body using (1)
Geographical Information System Analysis, (2) Table Analysis, and (3)
Logit Model Analysis. It was found that, of the 75 private universities in
the region, 48% were geographically concentrated in Papua Province,
21.33% in Maluku, 17.33% in West Papua, and 13.33% in North
Maluku. It was suggested that (1) the government attention should be
directed either through human resources improvement or local
economic development; (2) the government commitment was needed to
advocate the human resources in each region to be the future leaders in
improving the quality of private universities to fulfil the expectation of
HELTS; and (3) the institutional capacity improvement needed to be
extended
