Abstract: This study examines Kuwait's regulatory framework for private universities, assessing the balance between quality assurance and institutional autonomy.Using a comparative analytical approach, it draws on Qatar, Oman, and the United States model.All three Gulf systems reflect constrained, centralised autonomy privileging public educational interest, while U.S. private universities enjoy broader freedom absent federal funding.The study recommends developing Kuwait's Council of Private Universities to better align quality requirements with regulated institutional autonomy.
