Abstract
Higher education institutions (HEI) and corporate organizations are now beginning to recognize the notion of sustainable development (SD). In higher education, sustainability refers to incorporating sustainable practices, principles, and ideals into various academic institutions. This plays a central role in fostering social responsibility and sustainable behavior. While many institutions have shown interest in themes related to sustainability, they have not fully embraced the unification of sustainability into their academic curricula. This is due to the complexity of Sustainability concepts and the structure of the academic program itself. This study employs content analysis to compare two assessment tools, the Graphical Assessment of Sustainability in Universities (GASU) and the Auditing Instrument for Sustainability in Higher Education (AISHE), to assess the sustainability efforts made by universities in their systems. In our study, we observed that Communication, Network, Expert Groups, and Plans concerning staff development, teacher responsibilities, Student Examination, Specialty and Problem Handling, and Vision and policy of the organization are important parameters in AISHE that are absent in GASU. Budget Allocation and revenues from Grants and Contracts are present in GASU but absent in AISHE.
