Ch. 12 – Academic & Reputation Rankings 148 Chapter 12 Academic & Reputational Lists The publication of university and college rankings has grown increasingly popular since U.S. News & World Report released the results of its first reputational survey of U.S. universities in 1983. While some rankings today remain a compilation of opinions, most rankings (USN&WR included) now blend opinion survey results and quantitative data. The ranking sponsors sort and organize the data and opinions by different methods and create ordered lists of institutions. Ranking lists are now part of the public conversation about higher education, and they have an influence on some policymakers, prospective students, and donors. The U-M, however, avoids using these lists to guide decision-making about academic programs or spending priorities. Even so, the institution does monitor its placement on these lists, keeps an eye on the methodologies applied, and provides accurate data to the list keepers. In this chapter you will find many of the best-known rankings, with U-M’s position alongside those of schools it considers as peers. In the end, however, what matters most in choosing a school is finding a match between a student's particular interests, abilities, and ambitions with the specific programs, approaches and opportunities offered by a particular school.

  • 1 Spring 2014 Diversity in the Academic Leadership Of
    SPRING 2014 DIVERSITY IN THE ACADEMIC LEADERSHIP OF BIG TEN & CIC UNIVERSITIES A Project of Women LeadersCount1 The Institute for Women’s Leadership Consortium is committed to increasing the numbers of women in decision-making and leadership positions across all sectors and professions. Our series of Women’s Leadership Fact Sheets is designed to increase awareness of women’s current underrepresentation and progress. This fact sheet explores diversity within the academic leadership of Big Ten universities. Data are current as of April 1, 2014. The Big Ten Conference, previously the Western and Big Nine Conferences, is the oldest Division I collegiate athletic conference in the United States. Presently it has fourteen member institutions, a majority of which are flagship research universities in their respective states and are academically high-ranking, with relatively large student enrollments. Big Ten universities are primarily located in the Midwest. The Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC) is an academic consortium of fifteen universities that are members of the Big Ten Conference, with the exception of the University of Chicago which is a former member of the Big Ten. The CIC leverages faculty, funding, facilities, investments, and ideas to help the collective collaborate, compete, and succeed.

  • Business Practice: Selection of Peer Institutions
    Office of Budget and Planning Business Practice: Selection of Peer Institutions The office is frequently asked to prepare reports and statistics that compare U-M against “peer” institutions. Comparisons can include business practices, specific metrics, outcomes, or other measures. The Provost’s Office has requested consistency in the list of institutions included as peers in reporting. This business practice establishes the selection method for peers based on the purpose of the comparison. There are two primary options for peer comparison groups: • Benchmarking Peers – See Appendix A • AAU Peers – See Appendix B The “benchmarking peers” group is the default for all comparisons. However, there may be situations where a larger set of institutions is required for meaningful comparisons. For example, this can happen when comparing state appropriations across institutions. Using the benchmarking peer list in this situation would mean comparing only nine public institutions and the comparison of U-M to these nine might not provide the intended message. Additional examples for use of the “AAU peers” are listed later. Benchmarking Peers The benchmarking peer list is based on the list of top institutions identified during the development of the faculty recruitment, retention, and departure report for the Provost’s Office. Each summer, the deans are asked to report on senior faculty recruitment, retention, and departure activity for their unit, including which institutions hire our faculty (or attempt to) or are the source of faculty new to the University of Michigan. Compilation of this information produces a list of the “top” institutions for this faculty activity. The baseline benchmarking peer list was established in 2014-15.
