World University Rankings 2009
2009
Overview
Two innovations have propelled the power of rankings into household concepts and, indeed, tools for decision-making: the 1983 debut of the US News & World Report Best Colleges ranking; and the 2003 launch of the Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) Academic Ranking of World Universities. Shared characteristics of rankings and league tables include the use of a set of weighted indicators; a rank order that implies hierarchical differences; the identification of a specific unit of comparison (institution or programme, for example); and the proliferation of reputational inputs based on stakeholder surveys, adding subjectivity to a seemingly objective exercise.
