The EU’s Eurydice education info network calls on universities to go easy on emphasising rankings. “Perhaps well-ranked universities should be more wary of marketing themselves as the ‘x best university‘ when they are aware that the foundations for the claim are rather hollow. Equally institutions outside the rankings – but still providing life-changing opportunities to many people – should not feel that they have to justify their existence.” They won’t and they will.
