ON THE ISSUE OF ADMINISTRATIVE AND LEGAL FORMS OF LEGAL SUPPORT OF THE STATUTORY ACTIVITIES OF HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS

Abstract

The article emphasizes that the administrative-legal form is a way of
organizing and functioning of state administration, which is based on legal norms
and includes the use of administrative means and methods to achieve established
goals and objectives. This form regulates relations between the state and citizens,
as well as between various authorities.
It is noted that the main characteristics of the administrative-legal form are
the presence of a clear hierarchy of authorities, the lawful application of
administrative procedures and sanctions, as well as ensuring legality and equality
before the law. Administrative and legal forms of legal support for the statutory
activities of higher education institutions can be classified according to various
criteria, including the level of responsibility and competence, specialization of
functions, forms of organization and methods of implementation: according to the
degree of autonomy, administrative and legal forms can be centralized or
decentralized; by level of organization - internal or external; by content -
consultative or institutional.
With regard to separate administrative-legal forms of legal support for the
statutory activities of higher education institutions, attention is focused on the
fact that one of the main administrative-legal forms of legal support is the
development and analysis of legal documents, such as statutes, regulations, rules,
and others. Another form of legal support for the statutory activities of higher
education institutions is rulemaking, which plays an important role in regulating
their activities, which includes the creation, analysis and improvement of
normative legal acts, which are aimed at regulating a wide range of aspects of
activities, starting from the organization of management and ending with rights
and responsibilities of education seekers and employees. Rulemaking contributes
to strengthening the legal foundations of education, protecting the rights and
interests of all participants in the educational process, improving the quality of
educational services, developing international cooperation, and integrating the Ukrainian higher education system into the global educational space.
