Abstract: Academic Governance is a concept of managerial, social, and legal significance. This paper tries to understand the reasons behind the selected malpractices in either the managerial/academic areas or functions of educational institutions. It would help to understand the regulatory mechanisms in academia and their roles in the process and execution of the teaching and learning process. It would help the educationists and activists to come up with areas needing revision and reformation in the academic world. It tries to find the causes/factors leading to certain types of governance issues in academia based on three theories such as governance without government, the new public management/governance, and the network governance theories. It tries to bring out the recent insights as reported articles on the subject from open sources and scholarly publications. Content Analysis using PRISMA Protocol is the research design used in writing the results and discussions. Most of the failure reasons/causes are due to the failures of privatization, and network governance failures. Thus this paper would serve the consolidation of where and why such lapses happen and how to curb them.
