Summary/Abstract: This article analyzes the impact of rating-based funding on academic autonomy and governance of higher education institutions, considering Bulgaria as a case of full institutionalization of this model. In the context of the increasing use of quantitative indicators as a public policy tool, the study raises the question of how rating systems transform the understanding of quality and institutional development in higher education. The aim of the article is to examine the role of rating systems in the context of performance-based funding and their impact on the governance and academic autonomy of universities.
