Student bodies want out of university ranking systems

Trinity College Dublin Students’ Union (TCDSU) has called for a “formal and insightful investigation” into the college’s participation in university rankings systems as part of the Union of Students Ireland's call to leave the rankings system if a university wishes to do so. In an email sent to Provost Linda Doyle, TCDSU President László Molnárfi said university rankings prompt unnecessary academic competition, misalignment of values and academic integrity and “may also cause social exclusion and exclusionary managerialism by numbers”. László joined Seán to make the case for exiting the rankings.
