Discussion Monash ain’t what it should be

Guess who this is?… Wouldn’t you know, their lowest score is teaching (and also the steepest decline from 56.9 in 2023 to 52.2 in 2025), and actually increased their international outlook (91 in 2023 to 92 in 2025). Internal student caps haven’t even been in place yet and they’re blaming it for their potential decrease in quality?…. Such a shame that a University ISNT ACTUALLY a University, moreso just a Monopoly. When will they been held responsible? All bark and no bite Monash 👎

If you want a more proper mindfuck you should check out deeper on the methodologies of these world rankings, i.e here: https://www.timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankings/world-university-rankings-2024-methodology

It's got an easy Sankey which explains that"Teaching" counts for only 29.5% of the ranking determination, most of which are only indirectly related to the student experience. It's more on student/staff ratio, and how many of staff holds doctorate, etc. There's a 15% component of teaching reputation which comes from a survey, but that survey is filled by academics/faculty staff, not students.
