Institutions are, in turn, broadening their focus from domestic, national rankings to include various international rankings. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Yang Zhang<\/strong>, director of the M&#257;noa <a href=\"https:\/\/manoa.hawaii.edu\/miro\/\">Institutional Research Office<\/a> (<abbr>MIRO<\/abbr>), is quick to emphasize that different rankings use different methodologies and each contributes only one perspective of how universities can be ranked. <\/p>\n<p>Because of <abbr>UH<\/abbr> M&#257;noa&#8217;s uniqueness, <abbr>MIRO<\/abbr> studies the university&#8217;s performance using a variety of rankings, rather than a single specific ranking. Considering M&#257;noa&#8217;s mission of advancing research to serve the public good and its need to attract students and talent globally, Zhang advises that international rankings are more useful and appropriate benchmarking tools, rather than the <em>U.S. News and World Report<\/em>&#8217;s Best Colleges ranking that usually favors private and affluential institutions, but have traditionally been more familiar to the U.S. media and general public. <\/p>\n<p>For more information go to the <a href=\"https:\/\/manoa.hawaii.edu\/miro\/\"><abbr>UH<\/abbr> M&#257;noa Institutional Research Office website<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><abbr>UH<\/abbr> M&#257;noa is consistently ranked in the top 1.5 percent of nearly 24,000 universities worldwide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[735,631,9,56],"class_list":["post-39395","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-academic-news","tag-campus-recognition","tag-ranking","tag-uh-manoa","tag-video-2","entry","has-media"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39395","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39395"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39395\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":144904,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39395\/revisions\/144904"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39395"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39395"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39395"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
