Neoliberal struggle for social status and high financial rewards is also present in the field of education.

One can say that rankings dilute the traditional mission (and vision) of the university. Universities are treated as big companies, driven by success and profits. In the article the rankings issues are presented including the criticisms of their consequences.377211Studia Edukacyjn
