NAVIGATING THE TRANSITION TO A DECENTRALIZED GOVERNANCE MODEL FOR STATE UNIVERSITIES IN UZBEKISTAN presents the following source proposition: This article discusses the challenges and opportunities involved in transitioning state universities in Uzbekistan to a decentralized corporate governance model. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Society is moving from a centralized infrastructure to a decentralized, unmediated, and interconnected one, and from vertical hierarchies to horizontal, open, and autonomous networks; this transition, not the short-term versus long-term debate, is the relevant frame for corporate governance. The proposed response is an extension: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.

Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.
