Overall, 51 of the UK’s 76 institutions have slipped down in the rankings
since last year. The Russell Group members, which represents 24 of the UK's most
selective universities, including Oxford and Cambridge, saw 16 dropping down in
the rankings.
British universities are slipping down the world rankings, with experts
blaming the decline on pressure to admit more disadvantaged students.
中立议员、伦敦大学国王学院公共政策系教授艾莉森沃尔夫女男爵说，虽然英国的大学资金还算充裕，但是美国大学近年来的“投资越来越大”。
Baroness Alison Wolf, a cross-bench peer and professor of public policy at
King’s College London, said that while British universities are relatively
well-funded, their American competitors have “been spending more and more” in
recent years.
白金汉大学教育和就业中心主任艾伦史密瑟斯教授说，排名下滑是因为“大学无法再自由地做决定，招收最有才华的学生，而只有这样才能让大学保住在排行榜中的高位。”
她说：“如果我们的排名下滑，一部分原因是其他国家在高等教育上投入了大量资金。世界各国的政府都很看重国内是否有世界一流大学。”
3 Harvard University 哈佛大学
肯特大学高等教育部高级讲师乔安娜威廉姆斯博士说：“大学正在广撒网，触及更多不同的社会群体，这是件好事。”
6 University of Oxford 牛津大学
7 University College London 伦敦大学学院
“The assumptions you would have had in the past like telling students to go
away and read the book or write the essay, are no longer there,” she said.
“Universities are becoming more like schools in teaching style, and that removes
a lot of the intellectual challenge.”

总体来看，英国的76所高校中有51所的排名相比去年有所下降。代表牛津大学和剑桥大学等英国24所顶尖大学的罗素大学集团中有16所排名下滑。
QS, which has compiled the global university rankings since 2004, ranks
institutions according to six metrics: academic reputation, employer reputation,
faculty to student ratio, citations per faculty, the international faculty ratio
and the international student ratio.
5 University of Cambridge 剑桥大学
Prof Smithers said that Britain’s top universities are under pressure to
recruit more disadvantaged students, and that this “has diverted their attention
from really providing the subjects and the fields that they feel are the most
appropriate and drawing in the best students”.
在QS世界大学排行榜上，剑桥大学曾多年排名世界第一，最近10年以来也一直保持在前三位，但如今，剑桥大学却降至第五名。
Under the current fees system, any English university wishing to charge
tuition fees of over around 6,000 must have an access agreement approved by
Offa. This sets out what the university intends to do to recruit and retain
youngsters who would not normally study for a degree.
英国大学排名下滑因为招收更多穷学生?
Les Ebdon, director of Offa said that the argument used by admissions
tutors that disadvantaged students’ grades are not high enough “just doesn’t
hold water”, and criticised the Russell Group for suggesting that there is a
limit on the numbers of poorer teenagers they can recruit.
史密瑟斯教授说，变态版雷霆之怒私服，英国顶尖大学被迫招收更多穷学生，这“让他们分心，无法提供最合适的学科和研究领域，也无法招收最优秀的学生。”
Dr Joanna Williams, a senior lecturer in higher education at the University
of Kent, said: “Universities are casting the net a lot wider and reaching out to
more socially diverse groups, which is good.
“过去大学老师会让学生自己去看书或写论文，但现在已经不能这么想当然了，”她说，“大学变得更像是上课的学校，这让本应有的许多学术挑战消失了。”
他说：“如果英超联赛对于招收左脚或右脚踢球的球员有各种规定，那么球队就不会那么成功。”
“这种干预已经阻碍了大学的发展目标，而大学的初衷是要发现最有才华的学生，把他们推向各自学科的前沿。”
QS2018世界大学排行榜前十名：
British universities slip down world rankings as experts blame pressure to
admit more disadvantaged students
QS自2004年开始进行全球大学排名，排名主要依据6个衡量标准：学术声誉、雇主声誉、师生数比、教职员论文引用率、国际教师比例和国际学生比例。
Earlier this year, the higher education tsar warned that top universities
must make more effort to accept poor students.
9 University of Chicago 芝加哥大学
He said that instead, universities are forced to comply with “all sorts of requirements in terms of the ethnic mix, the levels of income of the students and whether they come from low income areas”.
英国大学的世界排行下滑，专家将其归咎于招收更多穷学生的压力。
4 California Institute of Technology 加州理工学院
2 Standford University 斯坦福大学
在当前的收费制度下，任何想收取超6000英镑学费的大学，都必须有公平入学办公室通过的准入协议。这一协议规定了大学为招收和留住那些没条件攻读学位的年轻人所计划采取的措施。
“但这意味着你不能指望学生刚进来就有一套知识体系，你必须花一定时间才能让他们达到标准。”威廉姆斯补充道，大学为了招满学生，不光向穷学生放低招收标准，而是对所有学生都放低标准。
“This interference is getting in the way of the purpose of universities which is identifying the most talented students and taking them to the frontier of their subject,” he said.
Professor Alan Smithers, who is head of the centre for education and employment at the University of Buckingham, said that the decline was because “universities are no longer free to take their own decisions and recruit the most talented students which would ensure top positions in league tables”.
“If the premier league made all sorts of requirements about recruiting left footed and right footed players, the teams wouldn’t be quite as successful,” he said.
公平入学办公室主任莱斯艾伯顿说，招生人员声称穷学生的分数不够高的论断“站不住脚”，并批评了罗素大学集团，指出他们对于家贫的青少年有招收人数限制。
今年早些时候，公平入学办公室警告说，顶尖大学必须作出更多努力来接纳贫穷学生。
Cambridge University, which for many years was ranked the best in the world and for a decade held a place in the top three, has now dropped down to fifth place, according to the QS World University Rankings.

“If we are slipping through the ranks it is partly that other countries are pouring money into higher education,” she said. “Governments all over the world are obsessed with the idea of having world class universities.”
他说，如今大学被迫满足“各种要求，关于种族融合、学生收入水平，以及是否来自低收入地区”。
