“Students need rankings to choose where to study.”

If that was true, no one could have gone to university before rankings were invented.

Students don’t need rankings. They need good, honest information, and the space to decide what matters most to them.

“English equals excellence.”

No. That’s just… wrong.

Excellence doesn’t have an accent.

If our assessments can’t see past one language, it’s the assessment that needs improvement, not the research.
