Global developments in higher education have made quality management a fundamental tool of legitimacy. In parallel with the whole world, quality management has started to be institutionalized at the national level and the diffusion of quality management among higher education institutions has accelerated in the Turkish higher education system with the establishment of the Turkish Higher Education Quality Council (THEQC) in 2015. In the study, the diffusion of quality management in Turkish higher education institutions is discussed in detail and it is presented that quality management in higher education has spread throughout Türkiye as a dominant management style and paradigm.
