institutional framework and imposing major changes to higher education institutions (HEIs). These&lt;br /&gt;
were given the chance to choose between two institutional models and required to restructure their&lt;br /&gt;
governance model. One of the visible outcomes of this reform is a blurring of boundaries between&lt;br /&gt;
HEIs and society. Academics now have to share a space that was traditional theirs with people&lt;br /&gt;
coming from outside academia.&lt;br /&gt;
The present study results from an analysis of the changes occurred in six Portuguese&lt;br /&gt;
universities after implementation of the RJIES, considering the context of broad public&lt;br /&gt;
administration reform embedded in a managerialist framework. Changes to the governance model&lt;br /&gt;
were analyzed focusing on the presence of external stakeholders in top governing bodies. The&lt;br /&gt;
perceptions of both academics and external stakeholders were analyzed in order to assess to what&lt;br /&gt;
extent the presence of external stakeholders is perceived as a necessary and effective change.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, this study also intends to shed some light to the following question: how do&lt;br /&gt;
academics and external stakeholders perceive the presence of external stakeholders, at HEIs’ top&lt;br /&gt;
governing bodies?&lt;/p&gt;
