Abstract 

The relationship between risk management and university governance as institutional responses to risks has not been addressed or made explicit. The objective of this work was to guide the establishment of a predictive model of the routes that would explain the interaction between the risk management determinants on the institutional recognition that reflects university governance. The results indicate that campus security management is an indirect determinant of institutional recognition, although this relationship is mediated by campus norms. It is recommended to extend the study towards the relationship with the identity, reputation and image of the public university in order to be able to anticipate its governance based on internal management in a scenario of contingencies, threats, dangers and imponderables.
