The United Nations published 17 Sustainable Development Goals in 2015 to eradicate poverty in all its forms and
ensure the common welfare of humanity by 2030. Higher Education Institutions play a crucial role in attaining
these objectives through their education, research, and social contributions. These essential functions have
contributed to the popularity of ranking systems that disclose universities’ efforts to achieve Sustainable
Development Goals. The Times Higher Education Impact Ranking is one of the most significant global method
for measuring universities’ performance concerning the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. 1591
universities participated in the 2022 evaluation of this Ranking, which included 768 universities worldwide in
2020. The objective of this study was to assess universities, countries, and continents using the linguistic
summarization technique, with a focus on the universities listed in the 2022 Times Higher Education Impact
Rankings based on the Sustainable Development Goals. Linguistic summarization is a data mining technique that
generates natural language summaries to assist decision-makers who lack specialist expertise. This study has made
a notable contribution to the advancement of universities and countries by identifying specific sustainable
development goals that can be enhanced to attain the overall Sustainable Development Goals
