THE MODEL OF ISLAMIC HIGHER EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM QUALITY MANAGEMENT ON THE CONTEXT OF HIGHER EDUCATIONAL AUTONOMY IN INDONESIA

Along with the rapid flow of global competition in the world of higher education in the third millennium makes many private universities in Indonesia often difficult to follow its development, especially private Islamic colleges (PTAIS) that in fact, its quality and instrumentation are still far from what is expected. In effect, many of those who suffered a tragic fate, or 'shut down'. The reality was further brought tremendous impact to the image emergence of quality gap between the State and private universities, which in turn led to the dichotomous view that state university (PTN) is a university that has a better quality than the private university (PTS/PTAIS). These conditions make people more confidence and tend to choose public state universities (eg Unair, ITB, UI, UGM, etc.) than with Islamic universities (eg UIN / IAIN), especially when compared to PTAIS. The more difficult challenge among with the implementation of regional autonomy laws that implicitly gives autonomy to the state university as a consequence of the mandate of Law 32 of 2004 which increasingly provide high flexibility for them to manage their institutions included in determining the recruitment of prospective students. This means that the level of competition among universities in Indonesia will be higher and inevitable.
