Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to define the sustainable university in Turkey by considering perspectives of various stakeholders such as experts intellectual public political parties and media using public opinion formation analysis. The paper aims to re-define the sustainable university with all dimensions including environmental economic and social factors in Turkey. Design/methodology/approach - In this study the model of shaping the policy agenda and public opinion formation by certain groups presented by Papadakis (1996) was used to determine the main characteristics of a sustainable university. Based on this model the researchers collected data from intellectuals experts political parties media and public simultaneously. Focus groups and archival search were used. Findings - The results of the public opinion formation process presented that the definition of sustainable universities in Turkey includes the economic ecological and social aspects and a holistic view of different groups. The findings of the study presented that the definition of sustainable universities in Turkey has many facets. Different groups in the public opinion formation process share almost similar views though these points are usually mentioned under different headings. Thus nearly each respondent in the public opinion formation process discusses the concept of being a trade mark as a university. Research limitations/implications - The research may lack generalizability as it takes place in Turkey which is a non-Western country. Practical implications - The research sheds a light for universities which are the major cornerstones of higher education especially in the area of sustainability and sustainable development. Also universities have a great impact in regional development which stresses once again the importance of sustainability in higher education. They should modify their education programs and curricula in accordance with sustainability. University-industry cooperation should be provided. They should manage to become a trademark. Social implications - Universities being the major cornerstones of higher education play a vital role in regional development of countries, therefore their sustainable development should be well handled to enable regional development. Originality/value - The universities are the major actors which should pursue sustainability as they affect society. The studies on sustainability and universities have been generally grouped under two main subjects in the literature. First group of studies highlights the support of universities for sustainability of corporations whereas other studies stress the importance of becoming a sustainable university. There are not many studies on this subject which considers the public opinion formation process throughout the literature, therefore this study contributes to the literature with this aspect. The study takes place in Izmir Turkey which is a non-Western country. Most of the studies on this subject take place in Western countries so as the study is deployed in a non-Western country it reflects a different point of view.

Generation Y also called the Net Generation or Millennials (Tyler 2007) refers a collaborator of the population larger than the Baby Boom generation. With approximately 80 million people born from mid-1980's to 2000 this group is the most recent generation to enter the workforce. Workplaces are being redefined and organizations are being pressed to adaptation as this new wave of workers inspire into business environments. It is widely accepted that distinct generational experiences shape ethical ideologies and thus ethical ideologies in turn affect the way people function in the workplace. Age-based differences in perspective and complaints about other generations are certainly not a new phenomenon. Businesses committed to high ethics standards know how important it is to create a shared sense of values and a cohesive culture rooted in integrity where organizational values and personal values align. Shaped by significant events societal trends and the cultures of their organizations each generation develops its own unique perspective of what constitutes right and wrong behavior on the job. Correspondingly Gen Y's unique collaboration experiences are likely to shape their ethical ideologies and consequent workplace judgments and actions. In this study we examine Gen Y's ethical ideology and its reflections on strategic management essentials. This group of people is an important part of the workforce since they are the near future managers of the business life. The purpose of the research is to better understand the impacts of Generation Y's ethical ideology and how this ideology reflects to their practice in business. In order to analyze their ethics view qualitative approach is held. Interviews with individuals whom are to be considered as employees from Gen Y are conducted to identify ethical attitudes and behaviors. Especially the changing ethics view on corporate business life and the effects on strategic management are focused in this research. The research will try to explore how ethical ideology has changed conditionally with the changing generation behaviors. The interviews are held with 8 employees. The interviews are transcribed into data which are analyzed by the researches to identify the findings. Qualitative approach is advantageous since it helps to gain detailed feedback about feelings attitudes and behavior. The research will contribute to the literature by considering the impact of varying ethics view for Generation Y and how it reflects to the business life environment in today's global world.
