28. Ratings vs. Rankings • Ratings are not dependent on the performance of other institutions • Ratings can be more adaptive • Ratings can include components not easily included in rankings

29. Best of Both • Working together... • A rating can provide some context to ranking results • A rating can visually signal additional complexity beneath the ranking results • A rating can encourage users/readers to accept that ranking results ought to be understood rather than simply accepted • A rating can provide additional important, yet easily consumable, information to be involved earlier in any decision making process that might involve rankings
