| Summary: | The implementation of the sustainable development concept within academic environments
is one of the top priorities of the national and international academic management. The aim
of the article was the analysis of the weights of the five Universitas Indonesia GreenMetric
criteria used to assess the academic sustainability level, which determine the final ranking
score. The initial observance period was ten years but since the individual criteria weights
were not included in the 2010-2013 reports, the analysis period was reduced to six years.
The sample encompassed universities from Europe. This choice was determined by the fact
that the highest ranked universities in the rankings used for the research were European
universities. The selection included 58 universities from 18 countries. The data was
processed through the Eviews software using the Ordinary Least Square method, with
corrections for the fixed effects panel data. The results of the research confirm that the
strength of the connection between the five criteria for assessing sustainability at the
university level and the total score of hierarchy of sustainable universities is very high. The
purpose of this paper is finding conclusions concerning the probability, for some
universities included in this ranking system, of gradually adjusting their sustainability level
through the most susceptible indicators by the human factor. |
