This theory is used to examine the government-university relationship on changes in Malaysian Federal Government funding through reductions in goal conflict and/or information asymmetry in Malaysian public universities. This paper presents the findings from the questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistic to answer the research question.
