Rankings have a huge impact on students’ higher education choices. It is interesting to observe how different schools communicate their rankings depending on the results.
Della Bradshaw, Business Education Editor at the Financial Times, has been managing the FT’s rankings for 18 years. I interviewed her about the rankings process on FIR on Higher Education episode 42. Among the topics we discuss:
- How a serious publication like the FT conduct rankings.
- What are some ethical guidelines that schools should follow.
- How should schools respond when rankings turn out unfavorable.
- How will rankings potentially evolve in the the years ahead.
