Abstract This study explores isomorphic changes in the private higher education institutions in Turkey. Within and across the institutions, isomorphic changes are common while diverse patterns are subject to having semi-elité characteristics. Within the limits of the national centralized system, these universities have emerged as distinctive organizations and few have grown into leading institutions competing with public universities. They became initiators in running different academic programs, curricula and administrative structures. The largest group of foundation universities bears the demand absorbing role showing isomorphic characteristics. Three critical elements of isomorphic change, coercive, mimetic and normative, were observed in these institutions. With the exception of small number of distinctive organizations showing semi-elité characteristics, foundation universities remain small and akin.

Abstract_FL Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye'deki vakıf üniversitelerinin birbirine benzeşme sürecini incelemektir. Bu üniversitelerde, kurumlar arası ve kurum içi benzeşme süreci genel bir karakter olmakla birlikte, farklılaşma gösteren kurum örnekleri de vardır ve bu farklılık, kısmen seçkin olma özelliği ile ilişkilidir. Türkiye'de yalnızca birkaç vakıf üniversitesinin idari yapısı ve eğitim programı kısmen seçkin kategorisinde yer almaktadır. Bu özellikleriyle, yükseköğretim sistemi içinde, ayrıcalıklı kurumlar olarak devlet üniversiteleriyle yarışabilecek kadar ön plana çıkmışlardır. Bunların dışında kalan vakıf üniversitelerinin büyük bir çoğunluğu birbirine benzer şekilde talep karşılama görevini üstlenmiştir. Bu kurumlar, benzeşim sürecinin üç karakteristik özelliği olan; dayatmaya dayalı benzeşim, taklitçi benzeşim ve normatif benzeşim süreçlerini geçirmektedir. Bu yüzden, birkaç kısmen seçkin üniversite dışında, vakıf üniversitelerinin birbirine benzer özellikleriyle yükseköğretim içindeki payları küçüktür.
