<p>Global University Leaders Forum (GULF):
[World</a> Economic Forum - Global University Leaders Forum](<a href=“http://www.weforum.org/en/Communities/GlobalUniversityLeadersForum/index.htm]World”>http://www.weforum.org/en/Communities/GlobalUniversityLeadersForum/index.htm)</p>

<p>Let’s see, you’ve got global business school leaders, London Business School and INSEAD. You’ve got the major US universities. But, sadly, no Berkeley. If Cal is such a global powerhouse as you claim, how come it’s not a part of this global leadership forum?</p>

22

<p>the_prestige, okay, for you UC Berkeley is a lousy school that has no national and international appeal. Berkeley is for stupid students. Now, let’s go back to the thread’s topic and leave Berkeley out of this. And, for the record, I have no affiliation with Berkeley.</p>

23

<p>Why the hate on Berkeley? I always thought that Berkeley is a good school (maybe not HSW but still solid) and they seem to have a good amount of alumni in good jobs here on the west coast at least…</p>

24

<p>^ Because for the<em>prestige’s very own logic, any school that isn’t HYPSM is not that good and will never be that good. For him, only HYPSM are great. Since Berkeley isn’t HYPSM, Berkeley isn’t great and would never ever be. For the</em>prestige, it’s either HYPSM or bust…</p>

</p>

<p>I don’t hate Berkeley. I am on the record as stating that it is an excellent school and the best public university in the US. So, quite the contrary.</p>

<p>Cal fanatics, on the other hand, I do have issues with some of their assertions.</p>

26

<p>FT rankings are garbage. Only respectable and arguably reliable rankings are usnews and bweek.</p>

27

<p>Right! FT is actually the only one worthy.</p>

28

<p>FT Ranking is garbage. End of story.</p>

29

<p>

</p>

<p>OK, we believe you. Not.</p>

30

<p>^ and what makes you think that we believe you? lol</p>

31

<p>I am struggling to figure out how one can put any faith in a ranking that has LBS at the top.</p>

32

<p>Its pretty obvious that schools than send to finance fields more regularly get weighted higher. Pretty narrow in my opinion.</p>
