Abstract

It is currently important to develop a methodology for assessing the comprehensive index of strategic sustainability of higher education institutions in Ukraine for the economic and legal support of universities in the context of entropic development.

The object of research is the process of evaluating the effectiveness of economic and legal support for the strategic sustainability of higher education institutions in the context of entropic development.

The problem addressed lies in the formation of a comprehensive approach that takes into account economic and legal factors for assessing the effectiveness of economic and legal support for the strategic sustainability of universities under conditions of entropy.

The research aimed to assess the level of economic and legal support for the strategic sustainability of state higher education institutions in Ukraine under conditions of entropic development.

The information base of V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University; Ivan Franko National University of Lviv; Sumy State University; and the National Technical University of Ukraine “Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute” was analyzed.

The proposed comprehensive methodology for assessing the strategic resilience of higher education institutions in Ukraine under conditions of entropic development showed that all the universities studied are characterized by different internal configurations of strong and vulnerable elements.

The practical implementation of the methodology for assessing the integral index of HEI strategic sustainability was carried out, which showed that the index is within the regulatory requirements. This indicates a medium-high and high level of HEI strategic sustainability of Ukraine in the conditions of entropic development.

The highest level of strategic sustainability was recorded at Kharkiv National University (InSS = 0.86), indicating a sufficiently high level of institutional capacity of a classical university and long-term development in an unstable external environment.

The practical application of the research results allows for a comprehensive assessment of the economic, legal, educational, and scientific activities of universities under martial law.
