“…The private sector in higher education in the USA worked well for a number of economic, social and cultural reasons [23]. It had a history of 'decentralisation' and 'provincial autonomy' of governance and regulatory mechanisms throughout the country [24].…”

The conventions and ratifications made by the United Nations (UN) have a long history. They were well respected for their ability to unite the world’s countries on some issues. The paradigm transformation of UN ratifications to combine both business models and social justice has received both positive and negative responses. While adherents argue that such a transformation is fundamental to boost economic development, opponents assert that the ‘so-called paradigm transformation’ has benefited the West by victimising the East, which has essentially complicated the global ‘sustainability crisis’. This also hinders executing the ESD (education for sustainable development) concept, especially in developing countries. The concept of ‘sustainable development’ is now the main agenda item of UN conventions. COP21 (United Nations Climate Change Conference in 2015, otherwise known as the 21st Conference of the Parties), is an example of the UN’s seriousness in addressing the ‘global sustainability crisis’. GATT and GATS are the international policies that are, respectively, the ‘causer’ and ‘developer’ of the private university sector in emerging market economies. Critics claim that this expanding sector generates an urban sustainability crisis. This study examined the effect of private universities’ expansion on urban sustainability, using a qualitative method for assessing primary and secondary data. The indices for night light intensity, heat and greenery served as the essential parameters to calculate the sustainability crisis. Results indicate that while the greenery index has fallen significantly, night light and heat indices have unexpectedly increased, which correlate with the development and expansion of the private university sector. To respond to COP21, a ‘carbon neutrality’ policy framework for the sector is suggested in an effort to control the sustainability crisis.

“…In the selection of English‐speaking colleges in Quebec, Canada, the reputation of the institution was one of the determinants (Isherwood, ). Teaching quality, staff qualifications, medium of instruction, reputation and institutional image related to academic staff are another set of determinants (Li‐Ping Tang, Shin‐Hsiung Tang, & Shin‐Yi Tang, ). The percentage of PhD qualified full‐time faculty at the institution is also considered important in the study by Baryla and Dotterweich ().…”

“…With respect to brand positioning, the prior research (Gatfield et al, ; Gray et al, ; Mazzarol, ) has identified academic instruction and learning environment, campus life, reputation and career prospects for graduates as being the most salient dimensions in Higher Education. Not surprisingly, perceived quality (primarily as manifested by the courses offered) and reputation of an institution are among the strongest influences on student choice of institution (Chen & Hsiao, ; Mazzarol & Soutar, ; Wilkins & Huisman, ).…”

With increasing student migration for Higher Education to Karnataka, it is important to understand the reasons which influence the migrants. Studies have indicated various push and pull factors for migration. This paper identifies career opportunities, value for education, brand equity, living conditions and others as pull factors of student migration using exploratory factor analysis. Further, the paper develops a structural equation model using a partial least square technique based on the factors explored. The research is based on primary data collected from students who migrated to Karnataka for Higher Education. The partial least square structural equations model shows that job opportunities and academic progression are the main factors influencing the decision to migrate to Karnataka.

“…Another aspect that also shows the trend of difference between PTN and PTS is the cost aspect. Li-Ping Tang (2004) stated that tuition fees at PTS are more expensive compared to PTN because the operational costs of institutions such as lecture facilities and infrastructure, lecturer salaries, and other operations are sourced from students. PTN tends to be cheaper in tuition fees because all operational costs are mostly financed by the state.…”

This study aims to interpret the awareness of the role of Educator Accountants in the accounting learning process and relate the meaning of this awareness to the theory of Light Triad and Dark Triad personalities. The subjects of this study are accounting lecturers (informants) who meet certain criteria. The research method uses an interpretive phenomenology approach which begins with an interview (noema), then conducts an epoche, namely an in-depth interview with informants and triangulation with students and observation (noesis). The noesis in the form of the theme of consciousness is further associated with the theory of Light Triad and Dark Triad personalities. The results of the study concluded that Educator Accountants who teach Exemplary tend to have Dark Triad Narcissism personalities, Educator Accountants who teach Discipline tend to have Dark Triad Psychopath personalities, who teach Morals and Ethics tend to have Light Triad Faith in Humanity personalities, who provide Comfort tend to have Light Triad Faith personalities this Humanity, who teach Independence tend to have Dark Triad Psychopathic personalities, and those who turn on Emotional Intelligence tend to have the personality of Faith's Light Triad of Humanity. If analyzed as a whole, Educator Accountants at this Institution tend to have a Light Triad personality more dominant than the Dark Triad. The results of the research are expected to provide benefits to enrich the repertoire of Behavioral Accounting science and be useful for Educator Accountants to always evaluate themselves because the attitude and nature of an Accountant are a reflection of one them as an Educator Accountant.
