Sustainability is higher education's major problem due to expanding environmental, social, and economic instability. HEIs support sustainability through instruction, research, and governance. Lack of understanding, financing, infrastructure, and stakeholder engagement hamper sustainability programs. The study measures HEI sustainability by measuring student and faculty awareness, institutional commitment, sustainability issues, creative and sustainable practices, research possibilities, and academic involvement. The study is cross-sectional and quantitative. Higher education students and professors completed a 34-item 5-point Likert scale survey. Statisticians use SPSS and SEM. Participants have moderate to high sustainability awareness. Innovation and institutional commitment increased research and sustainability. Poor infrastructure, financial constraints, and change resistance impeded sustainability attempts. The study revealed that higher education sustainability required institutional support, stakeholder participation, and innovation. Research and interdisciplinarity boost institutional and social sustainability.
