The Theoretical and Practical Use of Performance Indicators.

McDaniel, Olaf C.

Higher Education Management, v8 n3 p125-39 Nov 1996

A study of the use of performance indicators in assessing the quality of higher education investigated the potential contribution to quality control of 17 indicators. It is concluded that of the 17, only 7 have high or medium impact, while 10 have low to marginal impact. Concerns regarding government use of performance indicators intended for institutional purposes are discussed. (Author/MSE)
