In a recent article for University World News, Richard Holmes discusses the shortcomings of Times Higher Education’s Sustainability Impact Ratings. Holmes highlights several issues, including the decline in participant numbers over time, the use of AI to rank institutions, uneven representation of universities from around the world, and dramatic changes in rankings from year to year. Additionally, the author notes the disparities between THE’s Sustainability Impact Ratings and other sustainability rankings, as well as with the UN SDGs. Holmes concludes by asserting that the rankings are unlikely to help universities facing future challenges.
