Rankings als HO-normering

5 november 2007 | In Shanghai vergaderde vorige week de top van de rankingmakers. Alle dromen van en kritiek op de kwaliteitslijstjes over HO en R&D kwamen op tafel. Alex Usher, vice-president van het Educational Policy Institute, geeft de eerste analyse ervan. “A lot of the complaints one typically hears about university rankings are – in my view – fundamentally misplaced.  Whether directly or indirectly, rankings are pretty good at capturing the norms of the academic profession. If you have a problem with rankings, you actually probably have a problem with these norms.”
