Faculty Submissions
It is common for colleges and universities to include sustainability in their mission statements and strategic plans.

Global Science, National Research, And The Question Of University Rankings, Ellen Hazelkorn, Andrew Gibson
Global Science, National Research, And The Question Of University Rankings, Ellen Hazelkorn, Andrew Gibson
Articles
Science has always operated in a competitive environment, but the globalisation of knowledge and the rising popularity and use of global rankings have elevated this competition to a new level. The quality, performance and productivity of higher education and university-based research have become a national differentiator in the global knowledge economy. Global rankings essentially measure levels of wealth and investment in higher education, and they reflect the realisation that national pre-eminence is no longer sufficient. These developments also correspond with increased public scrutiny and calls for greater transparency, underpinned by growing necessity to demonstrate value, impact and benefit. Despite on-going …
