Notes of Caution • Findings only reflect general public perception of local universities and their leaders, they are not results of objective appraisals or professional assessments. • Absolute ratings (i.e. 0-10) are used in the key questions, they are methodologically more powerful than relative rankings, because the score received by an institution in any one year is independent of the scores of other institutions, or its own score in another years. • Sequence of prompting respondents with the name of eight institutions was randomly rotated to avoid possible bias. • All respondents have been told at the beginning of the interview that POP was an independent research body
