Running in Place: Low-Income Students and the Dynamics of Higher Education Stratification (2011, background): “College rankings have a significant impact on financial resources that are controlled by insiders to the higher education system, such as through alumni donations or when faculty decide which research to fund (Bastedo & Bowman, 2011).”
The Test-Optional Movement at America’s Selective Liberal Arts Colleges (2015, background): “…which is not entirely surprising, given that most selective colleges and universities rely on a host of external resource providers that place significant emphasis on institutional position and rank (e.g., students, families, government, industry, etc.; Bastedo & Bowman, 2011; Meredith, 2004).”
Anchoring effects in world university rankings: exploring biases in reputation scores (2011, background): “For adequate model fit, the first three indices should be at least .90, and the ratio of chi-square to degrees of freedom should be less than 5 (Bentler and Bonett 1980; Bollen 1989; Hu and Bentler 1999).”
How Sound Is NSSE?: Investigating the Psychometric Properties of NSSE at a Public, Research-Extensive Institution (2011, background): “…external actors to higher education as policymakers, parents, and prospective students (Volkwein & Sweitzer, 2006) but is also influential among such internal constituents as faculty and college administrators (Bastedo & Bowman, 2011; Meredith, 2004; O’Meara, 2007; O’Meara & Bloomgarden, 2010).”
