The
conference, which was sponsored by the rankings company QS and the
International Rankings Expert Group, a nonprofit organization of ranking
groups and universities from Eastern Europe, China and some countries
of the former Soviet Union, devoted several sessions to attempts to
connect rankings to the global job market. Proposals included regular
surveys of students at six-month, one-year and 10-year intervals after
graduation.
Jennifer
Engle, an official at the Institute for Higher Education Policy, a
nonprofit lobbying organization in Washington, said that deciding which
data are relevant was just one of the difficulties with President
Obama’s proposal,
announced in August last year, to put the federal government in the
ranking business so “Congress can tie federal student aid to college
performance” while students can “maximize their federal aid at
institutions providing the best value.”
