> University of Alberta opts out of Maclean's rankings
> Is this not simply sour grapes?
Absolutely not. The University of Alberta has consistently been ranked among the top universities in our medical/doctoral category. Our aim is solely to make the information about post-secondary education more useful by eliminating the distortions of ranking. It should be noted that the University of Toronto has ranked first in our category since the rankings began in 1990, and they joined our group because they also want changes in the way the data are compiled and presented. What we are hoping to achieve is to have the magazine adjust its presentation of information to reflect provincial and other differences that affect such measures as entering grades, retention and graduation rates. We believe the rankings, as they now stand, do not provide students, parents and counsellors with accurate information which they can refer to when making important post-secondary decisions.
