Abstract
The research article aimed at investigating the guidelines for the administration of higher education institutions in the digital era. The study applied a descriptive research method by synthesizing documents and interviewing with experts. Purposive sampling was used to select the key informants, who were seven experts in higher education administration. The document synthesis and interviews on the guidelines for the administration of higher education institutions in the digital era were used to collect data. The obtained data were analyzed by content analysis.
From the study, it is found that administrators should set goals for higher education institutions in order to develop individuals to be experts, to become whole human beings, and to possess the 21st century skills based on the philosophy of sufficiency economy, good governance, academic freedom, liberty, universality, equality, and social responsibility. This includes the education that can respond to the needs of society, academic service for society, new human resource and budget management, the preservation of arts and culture that are appropriate for the time period, and technology management. Administrators should have a process for administering higher education institutions that includes researching current and future trends, identifying clear objectives, putting plans in place, examining and assessing, improving, and establishing standards.
