    排名尾端的梅西大學(xué)的校長(zhǎng)對(duì)此排名卻抱極端否定的意見(jiàn)，他認(rèn)為此評(píng)估步驟不公平，并損害了梅西大學(xué)在國(guó)際上的良好聲譽(yù)。本來(lái)新西蘭高教局還把新西蘭大學(xué)和英國(guó)大學(xué)的排次進(jìn)行了一次對(duì)比，但報(bào)告遭到奧克蘭大學(xué)和威靈頓大學(xué)的聯(lián)手上告封殺，被法庭標(biāo)貼上了發(fā)報(bào)警制令，據(jù)新西蘭高教局的人士透露，該報(bào)告證明了新西蘭最好的大學(xué)和英國(guó)的二流大學(xué)相比較，仍是具有競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力的。
