Abstract

The release of global and national college rankings caused widespread concern and discussion in the academic community. However, there are several problems and pitfalls in the current global and national college rankings, including arbitrary selection of indictors and weightings, undefined users and simplistic presentation. In order to promote the quality of various rankings, in 2006, the International Ranking Expert Group (IREG) came up with the Berlin Principles on Ranking of Higher Education Institutions with a set of 16 principles for good practice of college ranking. The purpose of the paper is to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of 8 global and national rankings respectively based on Berlin Principles and Usher & Savino's Indictor Model.
