[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]what is the metric? I doubt its devised by The Times newspaper, they're just reporting it. And obviously they have nothing to gain from promoting any university. Its not like they get a cut of the profits, because there are none in the UK. I think there's one for-profit university in the whole country, Buckinghamshire. And its not on anyone's list, for good reason.[/quote]

It was created by the Times Higher Education unit.  They created the criteria.  The management of the Times has had significant Oxford representation.[/quote]

As does the BBC / The Economist / Parliament.

Most high end institutions within the UK have strong Oxford and Cambridge links. Cambridge isn't top of the list. Therefore defeating your silly stance completely.[/quote]

So your argument is that other UK institutions may also be biased in favor of Oxford and/or Cambridge as well in a global rankings, therefore we should pay no attention to possible bias at the Times (which has more Oxford management)?   And whose observation is silly?

NP: THE has Oxford as 1st; QS has them as 4th; and USNWR has them as 5th. I think the consensus is fairly clear that Oxford is a top international university. I'm really not going to quibble between 1st and 5th in the whole world, are you?[/quote]
