Autoponsibility:attendant consequence of Autonomy

"Person close to action in any human endeavour must have complete freedom of choice" asserts the spirit of autonomy. Autonomy in educational institutions means institution running the course more than the university in general and faculty in particular have freedom to choice. The range of choices to both institutions and faculty range from determining target audience to its courses to designing the finer details of each course. Starting from curriculum design to deciding content and phases and pace a course is left to individual faculty. The assumption is the person in charge is most qualified to make informed decisions and hence must be given freedom to decide.

As we know that every right or freedom comes with its own duties and responsibility. Autonomy is a special kind and higher degree of freedom. So each one of stake holder who have the privilege of autonomy must realise there is equally special responsibility which I call " autoponsibility"
