(UJ) \u2013 UJ has been ranked #17 of 50 colleges and universities dubbed the best academic stewards.<\/p>\n
This release is one of the latest by Academic Influence .com, a college ranking company dedicated to providing accurate rankings for institutions and programs in higher education.<\/p>\n
The metric for ranking Academic Stewardship was developed with this question in mind: What are the best colleges and universities if instead of rewarding waste and extravagance, we reward schools for making the best use of their limited resources?<\/p>\n
\u201cAcademic Stewardship asks how effectively schools manage their financial and human resources to gain the influence that makes them academically excellent,\u201d the AcademicInfluence.com team writes. \u201cSchools that are exemplary in Academic Stewardship are doing everything in their power to help students and faculty achieve their full potential.\u201d<\/p>\n
Putting the University at No. 17 on the list of Best Academic Stewards, AcademicInfluence.com recognizes the institution\u2019s commitment to offering students strong pathways to careers, supporting them in their academics while also keeping close tabs on financial resources and ensuring success for its stakeholders. The University\u2019s motto \u201cYour Success. Our Tradition.\u201d highlights the school\u2019s excellent track record of successful alumni. The University\u2019s Top-20 spot on this list acknowledges the truth of that statement, since part of the algorithm\u2019s measurement of influence calculated alumni and faculty contributions in their fields of study. This particular metric was termed Concentrated Influence.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve found that measuring a school\u2019s influence based on the contributions of faculty and alumni make in their fields of study but then also controlling for size of the undergraduate population is the single best indicator of academic excellence,\u201d Academic Influence says. \u201cWe call this Concentrated Influence. Schools that rank highly in Concentrated Influence are schools that, given their available human resources, invest heavily in their students and faculty, and the results are demonstrable.\u201d<\/p>\n
With this release ranking the best Academic Stewards among US colleges and Universities, Academic Influence recognizes the institutions that are fiercely committed to their educational mission, value character over prestige, promote student and faculty success, and emphasize growth and development to help students reach their full potential.<\/p>\n
