The study is on performance measurement in academia. It aims at developing and validating the measurement scale for the performance of higher institutions. The items were developed based on the extant literature. Data were collected via an online survey in which a questionnaire link was sent to 269 vice chancellors/presidents of the sampled universities. A total of 133 responses were retrieved at the end of the data collection period. This study used proportionate random sampling for sample selection. The goodness of measures was checked via field experts, academicians, and data analysis with SPSS. Overall, the alpha coefficient was .974. The outcome of exploratory factor analysis (EFA) exposed all factors loaded more than 0.50. The results revealed that the instrument was reliable and valid. Hence, the instrument developed was suitable to be used in examining the performance of higher institutions.

“…Perhaps the most controversial aspect of these rankings is that they are based largely on the unsupported assumption that the indicators used to rank institutions are in fact related to student outcomes or, in other words, accurately reflect the level of quality within an institution (Astin and Panos, 1969;Ball and Halwachi, 1987;Conrad and Blackburn, 1985;Nedwick and Neal, 1994, Solmon, 1973, 1975Tan, 1986). Another serious limitation with college rankings is the redundancy among the indicators in that many of the indicators are highly related to one another.…”

The transfer of quality assurance systems from one country to another is explored. The experience of a pilot project aimed at establishing the feasibility of introducing a quality assurance system in Turkish universities is reported. The project was based on a United Kingdom approach. A convergence between systems was observed and, contrary to earlier surveys, evidence from an associated international conference indicated that the purposes of external quality assessment are becoming more clearly de® ned. However, there emerged signi® cant cultural, structural, political and technical issues that affected the transfer of the UK system to the Turkish situation and which have wider implications for the international transferability of quality assurance and assessment systems between nations.
