Germany universities are now ranked with some now being labeled "excellent" rather than the roughly equal quality higher education system of previous years. Some believe the move is "a testing ground for what happens to student choice and perception when British- or American-style inequality of prestige emerges." The point is, nothing really happened at the institutions that were ranked higher, students simply perceived what they experienced as better because of the external validation of the rankings.
Follow up research raised question about using student satisfaction as a measure of quality because the government ranking strategy encourages "universities to compete to be designated 'excellent' on the basis of research clusters, graduate schools and their institutional plans" rather than anything related to teaching.
