Abstract
The aim of this study is to determine the efficiencies of the foundation universities by using data envelopment analysis (DEA) which is a performance measurement method for increasing the efficiency of educational institutions. The foundation universities are also ranked with the super-efficiency analysis. The number of academic personals, the number of undergraduate students and the number of scientific projects are used as input variables while using the number of undergraduate students, the number of graduate students as output variables for 45 foundation universities in Turkey for the academic year 2015-2016. The results show that Sabanci University is the super-efficient. On the other hand, Ozyegin University is the most inefficient foundation university in Turkey; whereas, Halic University, Ihsan DoÄŸramaci University, Istanbul Arel University, Koc University, Sabanci University and TOBB Economy and Technology University are found to be efficient. In conclusion, the overall average efficiency of the foundation universities is low which means that the universities are technically inefficient. This can be interpreted as the higher education sector performing equally not well for the academic year 2015-2016.
