Abstract

Gromkowska-Melosik Agnieszka, Globalne rankingi uniwersytetow i akademicka gra o status (Global University Rankings and the Academic Status Game). Studia Edukacyjne nr 37, 2015, Poznan 2015, pp. 7-21. Adam Mickiewicz University Press. ISBN 978-83-232-2967-4. ISSN 1233-6688. DOI: 10.14746/se.2015.37.1 Neoliberal struggle for social status and high financial rewards is also present in the field of educa- tion. My article is devoted to the problems of university rankings, which is also part of contempora- ry neoliberalism. I am convinced that rankings create to some extent contemporary academic reality. One can say that rankings dilute the traditional mission (and vision) of the university. Universities are treated as big companies, driven by success and profits. In the article the rankings issues are presented including the criticisms of their consequences.
