The Power of the List

By Matt Reed. Now Yahoo is ranking community colleges?
Ugh. Another list.
I’m not sure who the intended audience is. Most community college students don’t choose from among colleges across the country; most choose locally. In many areas, that only means one place to go; in most, no more than two or three. Online degrees have loosened the ties to geography to some degree, but most community colleges still charge a premium for out-of-state (or, in some states, out-of-county) students. Geography isn’t dead. Knowing that a college in Washington got a great ranking doesn’t help a prospective student in Massachusetts very much. Read more...

Validation Required

By Scott Jaschik. As several colleges over the last 18 months have admitted to submitting false data to U.S. News & World Report and other organizations that compile rankings, U.S. Newshas insisted that there is no broad problem or need for a new system to verify the accuracy of submissions. But on Saturday here at the annual meeting of the National Association for College Admission Counseling, the ethics committee of the association announced an additional mandatory requirement to respond to all the false reporting.

Universities look for new ways to rank themselves

By Jon Marcus. He may be the leader of the free world, but when President Barack Obama proposed that the government grade universities based on their cost and success rates, a lot of other people were ahead of him.
At a time when students and their families are demanding to know what they’re getting for their mounting investments in higher education, several foundations and research centers are already working on new ways to show them.
Even some universities and colleges themselves — reasoning that it’s better to come up with their own ratings than have them imposed by someone else — are quietly working on new ways to gauge what graduates learn and earn, though many remain reluctant so far to make the results public. More...

Cambridge back at the top in new-look UK league table

http://enews.ksu.edu.sa/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/UWN.jpg

By David Jobbins. Cambridge University is back at the top of the national league tables – the third to be published this year in the United Kingdom. Despite the change, which relegates Oxford to second place, The Times and The Sunday Times Good University Guide 2014 – published as a combined ranking for the first time – shows considerable stability in the top 10 UK universities, with the same institutions as last year represented and minimal shuffling of places.

Level Participation in 'U.S. News' Rankings

Officials at U.S. News & World Report have warned that some methodology changesthis year might lead to more movement on the rankings -- announced this morning -- than is the norm. That may well be the case, but the top three national universities and liberal arts colleges will be quite familiar to those who have tracked the rankings in the past. And the top 10 lists look pretty familiar, too. Read more...

La claque du « Financial Times » pour les écoles de management françaises

Par Benoît Floc'h. Le cru 2013 du classement des masters en management du Financial Times, qui paraît lundi 16 septembre, risque de jeter un coup de froid dans les écoles de commerce françaises, surtout celles qui viennent de fusionner.
Kedge (qui réunit les écoles de Marseille, Euromed, et de Bordeaux, BEM) et Neoma (Rouen Business School et Reims Management School) dévissent en effet dans le palmarès réputé du quotidien économique britannique – qui classe les 70 meilleurs masters en management au monde. Suite...

University rankings gain influence, despite obvious drawbacks

By Rosanna Tamburri. When Twitter posted a job ad recently for computer science graduates at its proposed “global centre of excellence” in Vancouver, it had unusually specific requirements for bachelor’s degree-holders. Their bachelor’s had to come from one of the world’s top 100 universities as defined by the Times Higher Education (THE), Quacquarelli Symonds (QS), or a similar ranking. This, according to Phil Baty, rankings editor with the London-based THE, is the latest example of how “obscenely powerful” university rankings have become. More...

Rankings just one measure of college quality

Americans love rankings. We rank fantasy football picks, popular music singles, employees and students. Lists with titles like the “Top 10,” the “Top 100” or “Worst 50” are a staple in popular culture, and wehave added universities to the list of lists.
This month U.S. News and World Report published its 2014 college rankings. Marquette was listed No. 75 among the list of 400 “national universities,” an “eight-spot jump” according to campus marketing. Six other schools were also ranked at 75.
The ranking was dominant on the university homepage, advertised on television screens and posters around campus and tweeted out to thousands of followers: “Marquette jumps eight spots on U.S. News’ annual Best Colleges list.” More...
