The measurable impacts of Australian higher education reforms in an era of changing policies
Recent Australian higher education reforms have endeavoured to change the performance and efficiency, thereby quality, of Australian public universities. This study incorporated the Cerych and Sabatier Framework with Data Envelopment Analysis to create an analytical framework designed to evaluate whether reform goals had any measurable impacts on the universities to which they were applied.

Recent Australian higher education reforms have endeavoured to change the performance and efficiency, thereby quality, of Australian public universities. This study incorporated the Cerych and Sabatier Framework with Data Envelopment Analysis to create an analytical framework designed to evaluate whether reform goals had any measurable impacts on the universities to which they were applied. The results showed that while short-term impacts on efficiency estimates were observable, longer-term impacts were not sustained, particularly through the instability of governments that were susceptible to electoral and internal party fluxes.
