Rules of self-financing
The University Act enables the University of St. Gallen to generate additional funds to complement basic public funding and tuition fees. The University of St. Gallen is aware of the fact that cooperation with sponsors and companies has to be entered into in such a way that the academic freedoms of teaching and research will not be affected. It therefore accords great value to precise rules and contractual regulations, which will safeguard the following central principles, in particular:
- preservation of the freedom of teaching and research,
- commitment to the HSG standards for subject matter and curricula,
- compliance with international standards and the HSG rules for the appointment and employment of research and teaching staff.
