At the moment, there is a high degree of differentiation in the level of gasification between the subjects of the country: the gasification level of the Far Eastern Federal District was 23.9% in 2023, while the central regions were gasified at the level of 80-90%. One of the main limitations of gasification in the Far Eastern regions is an underdeveloped transport and logistics system, and investments are needed to solve this problem. In this regard, it is necessary to estimate the required amount of investments. The purpose of this study is to develop a methodology for evaluating investments in the formation of a regional transport and logistics system for gasification purposes. The paper describes the current state of the transport and logistics system of the Far Eastern Federal District, and identifies the factors hindering its development. An algorithm for evaluating investments in the formation of the region's transport and logistics system for gasification purposes has been developed. A methodology for estimating the standards of costs in the formation of the transport and logistics system of the region is proposed for determining and evaluating the physical parameters of the transport and logistics system of the region. Based on the calculated indicators, the volume of necessary investments in the transport and logistics system of the Far Eastern Federal District for gasification purposes was determined, while it was revealed that the largest amount of financing would be required for the construction of inter-settlement gas pipelines. Among the regions, the largest amount of investment will be required in the infrastructure of Primorsky Krai, which is explained by the large population and the number of non-gasified settlements

The relevance of the topic of the article is due to the need for fundamental changes in the field of management of domestic universities, both on the part of the state and on the part of internal management. The new paradigm of university management should correspond to the emerging model of the national economy in Russia and the demands of civil society, which is feasible only if the basic principles of university management are fully implemented, including university autonomy, job security, academic freedom and intra-university democracy.

The implementation of these principles is connected, in turn, with cardinal changes in the relationship between the state and universities, on the one hand, between the university management and the teaching staff (teaching staff), on the other. This is due to the fact that most of the negative phenomena in university management have come from the unproductive state policy in the field of education.

The main idea of the article is based on the analysis of scientific publications and long–term observations of the author to identify the "pain points" of the existing paradigm of university management and propose ways to overcome them. In particular, it was revealed that the regular underfunding of universities in recent decades (especially regional ones), the global commercialization of the higher education system with a simultaneous decrease in its quality, and adherence to the concept of university manageralism led to the destruction of traditional academic values, primarily academic freedoms and intra-university democracy.

In the context of the aggravation of the international situation, the problem of a shortage of highly qualified personnel and the urgency of accelerating the innovative development of the country, it is extremely important to introduce as soon as possible a paradigm of university management adequate to the goals and objectives facing them. The foundation of the new concept of university management should be made up of academic principles and values that have been displaced from the field of education by the so-called quasi-market conditions.
