The Institute Publique du Rildanor (IPR, Public Institute of Rildanor) released its first ranking of Rildanorian universities today. In the top spot was the Université d’Arloux followed by the Université de Niraldonne with the Université Royale de Tiralouse rounding out the top three.
The IPR’s university index was an assessment of the universities’ performance, resources and instruction in regards to research and higher education.
“Each university was evaluated in regards to six key categories: Research, Faculty Awards, Student Awards, Reputation, Alumni and Library holdings,” explained the IPR in its released report. Research and faculty awards were equally weighted the most, comprising a combined 50% of the index, followed by the reputation survey at 20%. Library holdings was weighted the least with only 5% influence on the index. Results were compiled out of information requests completed by both institutions and the federal government. The reputation and alumni categories were supplemented by surveys completed by 2726 members of industry and academia.
So what does this report say about the overall health of Rildanor’s post-secondary institutions?
“Overall we found that all of our public post-secondary institutions are performing well. University in Rildanor is both accessible and high quality.” Stated Pierre-Luc Chartrain, the lead researcher responsible for the index.
“Our top 5 institutes in Rildanor are producing incredible research and highly qualified graduates” Chartrain said. “[Rildanor’s] emphasis on egalitarianism within education also means that the gap between top performing institutions and universities on the lower end of the index is actually not that big.” Citing the government’s preference to distribute resources more equitably among institutions.
“On the world stage however, it perhaps hurts our top institutions.” Hinted Chartrain. “Perhaps we should be moving towards targeted funding and resources for universities to specialize in their key strengths and develop incredible and internationally renowned key programs.”
