The first quality is human resources, includes employees and lecturers must provide stakeholder-oriented services and have qualified lecturers. The next quality is management quality; in this case, managing Higher Education Organizations must refer to the concept of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) in the sense that everything must carry the principles of transparency, responsibility, accountability and fairness.
Prof. Thomas added that the third quality is Student Achievement. “Of course students who study at this campus must excel in both academic and non-academic fields,” added the man who was once chancellor at Atma Jaya University. The last quality that must be possessed by superior universities is quality of Research; in this case, lecturers must continue to develop scientific publications.
