Dear Mohamed, what a fascinating question! I would guess that certain attributes may be important across higher education institutions, but that a particular mix of attributes would characterize a particular institution. The type of higher education institution, for instance, a contact institution versus a distance education institution may also play a role (this, however, is just a hunch). Please find attached a link to a brief Google Scholar search that relates to your question.
