摘要	One of the main challenges in terms of sustainability for Latin American countries is to make Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) sustainable organisations. For this reason, the present research aims to set up a measurement tool to estimate students’ perceptions about university sustainability. Since students are the starting point for the implementation of sustainability as an organisational model in HEIs, managerial tools are needed to enable these institutions to assess progress in achieving sustainability goals. This is particularly relevant in the context of a developing country, where the implementation of sustainability as an organisational model is still at an early stage. Therefore, a sequential mixed methodology was proposed, setting up the theoretical foundations of the measurement instrument through a systematic literature review, supported by a bibliometric and content analysis. By exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, the statistical validity of the instrument was confirmed. Findings revealed that the central dimensions of university sustainability are governance as a strategic pathway for implementing sustainability, substantive functions of the university (education, research, and community outreach), and sustainable campus management encompassing aspects such as infrastructure, waste management, use of renewable energies, water management, and campus experiences. Finally, the study also confirmed the presentation of sustainability reports as a means of legitimising HEIs’ actions before society.
