Has Berkeley's prestige gone down?

Even in the global rankings that measure research output we are falling, and this where we usually perform well. For instance, we were ranked #5 in ARWU this year (our lowest ever). This means we lost our distinction as #1 public university in the world to Cambridge. I’m ticked…

Our trend overall for Times Higher Ed dropped from 92 to 84.

Rankings from 2011 to 2018 is a nasty trend. 8->10->9->8->8->13->10->18
