The behavior of the stakeholders of specific institutions of higher education was reported online by means of fractal and recurrent analyzes based on the dynamical frequency of powering up their sites in the searching systems. The system of support of decision making and solutions on institutions of higher education web-sites usability maintenance has been explained. A questionnaire was carried out for 1170 stakeholders for the criteria of the use of the institutions web-sites. A model of an unclear logical type usability of the web-sites of institutions of higher education by the Mamdan algorithm on the basis of a refined version of the usability criteria was developed. The models of decision making on providing the information transparency for each institution of higher education by establishing the significance of influence of the certain entering running models of unclear logical results on the institutions of higher education websites usability are explained. Reserves and ways to ensure the achievement of the target value of information transparency by institutions for effective interaction with stakeholders in the online environment are substantiated
