Resumen

Los informes de sostenibilidad son hoy una práctica casi universal entre las universidades latinoamericanas con reconocimiento internacional, aunque si constituyen una rendición de cuentas genuina o un cumplimiento simbólico sigue sin resolverse empíricamente. A partir de la definición relacional de rendición de cuentas de Bovens y de la distinción de Roberts entre rendición de cuentas jerárquica (monológica) y socializadora (dialógica), este estudio plantea una pregunta más acotada que si el informe rinde cuentas sin más: qué predice que la divulgación de una universidad satisfaga la capa monológica y basada en divulgación de la rendición de cuentas (la explicación validada externamente), a diferencia de la capa dialógica y participativa que este conjunto de datos no permite observar. Se construyó un Índice de Calidad de Divulgación de Sostenibilidad (SDQI, por su sigla en inglés) a partir de seis dimensiones ponderadas, aplicado a 147 informes de sostenibilidad de universidades de 15 países latinoamericanos mediante análisis de contenido asistido por computador. Se estimaron tres modelos de regresión: uno OLS para la calidad general de la divulgación y dos regresiones logísticas penalizadas de Firth para la verificación externa, todos con efectos fijos de país. Los hallazgos se dirigen sobre todo a los organismos de acreditación y aseguramiento de la calidad, y a quienes diseñan política de educación superior orientada al monitoreo de los ODS, más que a los grupos de interés financieros, dado que el constructo de verificación empleado aquí agrega la acreditación académica con el aseguramiento específico de sostenibilidad.
