Calculating and comparing the eciency of educational departments in Islamic Azad University of Jiroft-Iran using DEA

This paper is devoted to calculating and comparing the eciency of educational departments in islamic Azad university of Jiroft-Iran using data envelopment analysis (DEA), a mathematical programming- based technique for evaluating eciency. The data of the study have been collected by 4 questionnaires and 21 departments are under consideration. The results of the study exhibit that 6 departments are ecient and the average of the eciency scores is 0.82. Eight DEA models have been utilized and the results of these models have been combined by an approach
