1. Three Major Concerns for Development of Higher Education in Global Times

2. Challenges to Higher Educationin 21st Century
Over expansion of higher education2305 post secondary higher education institutions in China 726 universities and 488 junior colleges in Japan 201 universities in Korea160 universities in Taiwan 15 in Hong Kong (9/6)12 in Macau(4/8)
Private universities outnumber public universities (except China) Declining birth rate

3. Recipe for Higher Education - quality assurance and global competitiveness
Set up Internal and External Quality Assurance System
Establishment of National Accrediting agency Establish Quality Culture on Campus
Compulsory auditEnhance international academic competitiveness
Launching several Excellence Programs Brain21 (Korea) Center for Excellence COE (Japan)5 year-50 Billion Program (Taiwan)China 985 project

4. What does a world class university look like?
In terminologyworld class universities: top universities striving for “excellence”
quality must surpass the expectation of stakeholders
Philip Altbachexcellence in research, top professors, academic freedom and an atmosphere of intellectual excitement, governance, adequate facilities and funding

4. What does a world class university look like?
Jamil Salmi (World Bank) based on two rankings (Shanghai and QS)
a high concentration of talent (faculty and students)abundant resources to offer a rich learning environment and conduct advanced research favorable governance
features that encourage strategic vision, innovation and flexibility, and enable institutions to make decisions and manage resources without being encumbered by bureaucracy

5. Relevance between Global Rankings and World Class University
characteristics of world class universities are strongly correlated to most indicators used by global rankingsnations use global rankings as a basis of building world class universities despite methodological flaws

5. Relevance between Global Rankings and World Class University
top administrators at leading universities use global rankings to achieve the short term and long term strategic plans, not just to boycott them

4. Scoring Methods
The indicators were weighted at a certain ratio and the scores were aggregated to rank each college. The top one university received highest points while the scores for the remaining schools descended accordingly.

3. Two Major Reports
OECD survey in 2007 showed: over 50 % of respondents: rankings has a positive impact on the institution’s reputation (student recruitment, academic partnerships and collaborations and staff morale)majority of the institutions incorporated the outcomes of rankings into strategic planning processes at all levels 70 % wanted to be in the top 25 internationally

4. Two Major Reports
OECD survey in 2007 showed: an on–line UK study focused on English Universities ‘ attitudes toward rankings
rankings reflect the views of what properties a good university should develop that influenced the institutional and governmental polices a high level of agreement that the reputation of an institution might be affected by rankings
many institutions further down in the rankings do not care too much about global rankings
