It's simply wrong to rank universities, PERIOD! However, if you must that it shuold be done properly.

The THES and other rankings are heavily biased towards westernised institutions leaving out top universties where the primary publication and teaching language isn't English.

In addition, considering the vast amount of Universities around the world, you will need a substantially large pool of academics, representing all the countries that have universities in order to perform a fair evaluation.

It's simply statistics. The evil thing is that QS and THES are well aware of the tremendous shortfalls of their methdology yet they continue to publish because the rankings generate a lot of income for them ~ exploiting the lack of public statistical knowledge.
