Overall page order of rankings edit

Latest comment: 10 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

I would like to propose that we change the order of rankings on this page? Currently the 2010 CHET report is first, which is non-ideal in two ways: first, it's older than most of what's below; and second, if you read the cited report, it is actually not a ranking scheme at all, but a categorical one (i.e., it seeks to identify similar institutions, but not based on quality per se). So (for example) UKZN is in the "green" cluster because it show evidence of doing multiple things, rather than doing "red" poorly.

I propose that the most informative order would be:

Highly Cited Rankings First (THE World Univ Rankings, QS World Univ Rankings, ARWU/Shanghai) Filling in Detail (URAP) Business Reputation (THE Alma Mater, Tredence) Ancillary/context (2010 CHET Report)

The table provided on the Wikipedia page for the Times Higher Education Rankings of SA Universities for 2013 is in error. Please refer to the table published on http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/world-university-rankings/2012-13/world-ranking/region/africa:

The top African universities for 2012-13 are: University of Cape Town (ranked at 113 worldwide); University of Witwatersrand (226-250); Stellenbosch University (251-275); University of KwaZulu-Natal (351-400). UCTComment (talk) 14:40, 9 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Sorry, that was some vandalism from yesterday which I have now reverted to the correct information. Thanks for pointing it out. - htonl (talk) 15:12, 9 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
