title = {Can we support diversity by performance measurement of European higher education institutions?},
year = {2014},
note = {The overall aim of the article is to discuss different ways of
assessing and handling performance differences of higher education
institutions caused by varying initial conditions with regard to the
student populations’ diversity. We introduce and compare two
approaches we expect worthwhile discussing in the German context: On
the one hand, the classification approach identifying diversity
between higher education institutions is reflected. A critical look is
taken at the possible repercussions of classifications on the design
of university programmes. On the other hand we introduce an
alternative approach that has so far been rarely adopted in Europe.
The “Australian model” is based on a statistical method that
levels out different initial positions for performance indicators.
This will help higher education institutions to respond adequately to
different social requirements and needs of students. An arithmetical
example illustrates the way the model functions. We conclude that the
“Australian model” can avoid some problems of the classification
approach and an adaptation would be worthwhile for Germany.},
