Macleans, Canada’s venerable news magazine, released their 17th annual rankings of universities in Canada. As university presidents stop providing information, Macleans has found a new way to rank:
This
year, Maclean’s revised its methodology, and the rankings are now based
entirely on publicly available data. Student and faculty numbers were
obtained from Statistics Canada, as was data for all ï¬ve ï¬nancial
indicators—operating budget, spending on student services, scholarships
and bursaries, library expenses and acquisitions—as well as total
research income. For the social sciences and humanities research grants
indicator and the medical/science research grants indicator, data for
ï¬scal year 2006-2007 was received directly from the three major federal
granting agencies: the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council
of Canada, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of
Canada, and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. The Canadian
Association of Research Libraries and its regional counterparts
provided ï¬gures used for the library holdings indicators. All ï¬nancial
and library ï¬gures are for the ï¬scal year 2005-2006; student and
faculty numbers are for 2004-2005. Our 17th annual rankings | Macleans.ca - Education - Universities
