- Abstract
Higher Education Quality Assurance, which aims to promote continuous improvement and accountability in universities, places a strong emphasis on proper resource allocation that aligns with strategic management and leadership. Furthermore, the role of higher education institutions in preparing a skilled workforce through the provision of reliable study curricula and fostering innovation has experienced significant growth within the context of integrated development policy-making processes. Over the past few years, the National University of Mongolia (NUM) has implemented several organizational changes and quality policy reforms. This paper delves into specific aspects regarding how higher education quality assurance should encompass sustainable development goals and objectives, particularly in relation to the resource allocation at the National University of Mongolia. To accomplish this, we conducted an exploratory study that involved content analysis of NUM's strategic plan for 2016–2024, along with the examination of the annual plans and reports from the past three years, and the corresponding documents from the Quality Assurance Department of NUM. The study has yielded the following results: While the sustainable development goals have not been directly integrated into the plans and reports, elements of accountability such as the establishment of sustainable and competitive positions for professors, an increased employment ratio of alumni, and enhanced stakeholder involvement have been highlighted in these documents. This study contributes to the existing body of knowledge for both scholars and practitioners by shedding light on how sustainable development goals and their associated objectives are being addressed within university management.
