Happy to see the statement on #universityrankings by the International Association of Universities #IAU, the largest and most international university network: https://iau.global/news/iau-note-on-rankings-released. Sort of proud to have played a role in that. Moving away from rankings, step by step. I look forward to seeing similar statements from #LERU, #TheGuild, #AURORA, #YERUN and others.

Citing openness and validity issues, Sorbonne University in France decides to no longer supply data to the THE-ranking and thus get delisted. A courageous step (actually it's a bad sign that we have a situation where this requires courage). This is now the 4th major European university to take this step, after Utrecht, Zürich and Lorraine. #SorbonneUniversité. #universityrankings https://www.sorbonne-universite.fr/en/news/sorbonne-university-decides-withdraw-times-higher-education-world-university-rankings
