Summary
Details

The influence of university rankings on higher education institutions reveals ethical concerns, controversies, and increased global competition. As rankings become a measure of academic prestige, many universities align their strategies with ranking criteria, sometimes at the expense of educational values. This pursuit of higher rankings often drives institutions to invest in research output and international visibility, while potentially neglecting teaching quality or community engagement. Criticisms emerge over the transparency and fairness of ranking methodologies, raising questions about their validity and the consequences they produce. Further exploration into the ethical implications of rankings may reveal new contentious practices and competitive dynamics shaped by the prioritization of university rankings. Influence of University Rankings on Institutions: Ethics, Controversies, and Competition explores how the pursuit of higher university rankings influences institutional priorities, behaviors, and decision-making processes. It examines the ethical dilemmas, methodological controversies, and competitive pressures that arise from global ranking systems. This book covers topics such as mental health, teacher education, and ethics and bias, and is a useful resource for educators, policymakers, government officials, psychologists, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
