Abstract
University governance systems are designed to make universities accountable in terms of organizational performance. Accountability as an element of good governance can be measured in terms of the outcomes and structures or processes of the university. This can involve evaluating the efficiency and effectiveness of university processes that result in the production of graduates and research outputs. The study applied a desk research methodological approach. Secondary quantitative and qualitative key institutional performance data from the 2018/19 annual reports of THENSA universities were analyzed. Study findings revealed that most of the universities articulate very low student enrolments, particularly when it comes to postgraduate enrolments. The implementation of good corporate governance at THENSA universities can aid the development of effective student recruitment strategies to increase STEM enrolment numbers. Potential students need to assess the trend-off between university affordability and their chances of graduating before selecting a university.
