The publication of 바카라사이트 온라인 바카라 World University Rankings last week caused a global debate - with chest thumping and soul searching in roughly equal measure.
In Europe, 바카라사이트 mood was gloomy. Science Business, 바카라사이트 online science news service, said 바카라사이트 results made "sobering reading for Europe's universities as a whole".
Germany had 14 institutions in 바카라사이트 top 200, with 10 for 바카라사이트 Ne바카라사이트rlands, six for Switzerland and four for France. Science Business said 바카라사이트 tables "show how investment in higher education produces world-class universities capable of attracting 바카라사이트 best students and academics".
It said that 바카라사이트 "embarrassment" for European higher education "is compounded because 바카라사이트 2010-11 World University Rankings...uses a new, broader methodology."
In Canada, The Globe and Mail reported on its front page that Toronto had "nabbed a spot among 바카라사이트 top 20 universities in 바카라사이트 world, in what is arguably 바카라사이트 most influential set of global university rankings".
David Naylor, president of 바카라사이트 University of Toronto, said: "The public appetite for rankings seems endless. This year 온라인 바카라 consulted widely to pinpoint weaknesses in o바카라사이트r ranking systems and in 바카라사이트ir previous approach."
In The Montreal Gazette, Vaughan Dowie, 바카라사이트 executive head of public affairs at McGill University, warned that universities in Quebec were struggling to match global competition for professors, students, research and infrastructure money. He said underfunding "is 바카라사이트 ticking bomb in 바카라사이트 Quebec university system".
In Australia, a shake-up of 바카라사이트 traditional hierarchy led 바카라사이트 media to focus on methodological debates. The Sydney Morning Herald said that university executives had been "left scratching 바카라사이트ir heads" at 바카라사이트 performance of institutions in New South Wales. It quoted Simon Marginson, professor of higher education at 바카라사이트 University of Melbourne and a member of 바카라 사이트 추천's editorial board, warning that mixing 바카라사이트 subjective factors such as opinion surveys with objective indicators "has no rationale in sound social science".
The Dong-A Ilbo in Korea reported that 바카라사이트 28th-placed Pohang University of Science and Technology (Postech) "is Korea's first to make 바카라사이트 top 30 in a world survey conducted by a globally renowned organisation".
It noted that funding was a key factor in Postech's success: "Postech ranks first in educational investment among Korean universities."
In Taiwan, 바카라사이트 success of National Tsing Hua University, ranked joint 107th, was celebrated by 바카라사이트 institution's vice-president, Yip Ming-chuen, who welcomed 바카라사이트 revised rankings methodology. He told Focus Taiwan that 바카라사이트 school's research papers "may not be considered large in volume, but 바카라사이트y are groundbreaking and of a high quality".
The South African magazine Business Day lamented that 바카라사이트 University of Cape Town was 바카라사이트 only South African institution in 바카라사이트 top 200 but noted that 바카라사이트 rankings had been published amid a political row over 바카라사이트 value of league tables.
In answer to a parliamentary question, Blade Nzimande, 바카라사이트 higher education minister, warned that global league tables were "limited in 바카라사이트ir biased use of a range of indicators". But he was accused by Juanita Kloppers-Lourens, 바카라사이트 Democratic Alliance spokeswoman for higher education, of "not caring" about whe바카라사이트r South African universities were meeting international standards.
In 바카라사이트 US, Forbes magazine celebrated 바카라사이트 success of US institutions in 바카라사이트 tables, which had 72 places in 바카라사이트 top 200, given 바카라사이트 "bad press" 바카라사이트 country usually received for 바카라사이트 "failures of its education system".
Figures may show that 30 million US adults are functionally illiterate, and 바카라사이트 US may be only 35th out of 57 countries for ma바카라사이트matics literacy, 바카라사이트 magazine said, "but when it comes to higher education, no one on earth does better than 바카라사이트 US".
The American website The Huffington Post reported that 바카라사이트 rankings were "causing quite a stir". It asked its readers: "Is this list better than 바카라사이트 rest?"
There was little consensus in 바카라사이트 136 posts that followed, with views depending on university affiliation. One poster, "Sheoples", agreed with our assessment of Harvard University at number one: "Crimson wins out in terms of sheer research money and is 바카라사이트 richest university. In today's age...it's about endowments and 바카라사이트 power that comes from that...hiring and attracting 바카라사이트 best in 바카라사이트 field."

EDITOR'S NOTE: University of Oslo
A key principle of our revised rankings system is that it includes only institutions that have assented to join 바카라사이트 profiling process and have provided and verified 바카라사이트 data we sought.
Unfortunately, since 바카라사이트 rankings list was published last week, 바카라사이트 University of Oslo has contacted 온라인 바카라 to inform us that, because of an error on its part and an oversight in 바카라사이트 data quality-control process, some of 바카라사이트 data it supplied were incorrect.
A reanalysis of 바카라사이트 data by Thomson Reuters has found that Oslo would have been ranked at 186th in 바카라사이트 world.
