1.1 Introduction
Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) is Malaysia's premier institution of higher learning
that has experienced phenomenal growth since its inception in 1956. Today, with its
greatest number of students and staffs, UiTM continuously is moving forward to embrace
new challenges to become world class university. In 2011, UiTM embarked to another
direction which grants its branch campuses to operate on its own, in other words,
autonomous campus. The concept of autonomous normally can be described as acting
independently, freely to choose what to do or not to do. For a start, UiTM Sarawak,
UiTM Perak, UiTM Perlis and UiTM Terengganu have been chosen to be the first to
commence this new way of governance.
