More Than Our Rank

The More Than Our Rank initiative has been developed in response to some of the problematic features and effects of the global university rankings. It provides an opportunity for academic institutions to highlight the many and various ways they serve the world that are not reflected in their ranking position.

Project Goals

The More Than Our Rank initiative enables academic institutions to show a commitment to responsible assessment and to acknowledging a broader and more diverse definition of institutional success. The initiative supports every academic institution, whether ranked or unranked, top 10 or yet to place. It is an initiative for institutions who are proud of their ranking position but also recognize the limitations of the indicators used, and for those who feel that the rankings do not reflect their strengths or institutional mission.

Deliverables

Institutions can sign up through the website and add the More Than Our Rank logo to their web pages or promotional materials. There is no fee to participate in this global initiative. Academic institutions are asked to post a statement promoting institutional activities, achievements or ambitions that are not adequately captured by national or international university rankings. A full list of signatories can be found here and a PDF guide has been created to inform stakeholders why institutions should participate.
