PRINCETON — A new ranking of the world’s best universities places both Princeton and Rutgers universities in the top 100.

Princeton cracked the top 10 in U.S. News and World Report’s 2017 Best Global Universities rankings, earning the eighth spot on the list. Rutgers tied with the University of Florida for 82nd.

While Princeton improved in the rankings from 13th last year, Rutgers dropped from 60th.

The rankings cover the top 1,000 institutions from 65 different countries and are heavily based on the universities’ reputation for academic research both regionally and globally. Also among the dozen factors considered are the number of publications and citations produced the university.

“United States universities do especially well in the Best Global Universities rankings because they place an enormous emphasis on academic research,” said Robert Morse, chief data strategist at U.S. News

American universities claimed the top five spots on the list, with Harvard University claiming the title as the best university in the world.

PRINCETON: Trial scheduled to start this week on lawsuit challenging university’s property tax exemption

princeton

By Philip Sean Curran, Staff Writer

Princeton University is scheduled to go on trial this week in New Jersey tax court to defend its property tax exemption, in a closely watched lawsuit that a coalition of residents filed to make Nassau Hall pay more real estate taxes.

The case is due to start Thursday morning, before a judge who so far has rebuffed past attempts by the university to get the litigation thrown out. The initial phase of the case will be heard in Trenton, with university president Christopher L. Eisgruber the first witness the school intends to have testify.

Attorney Bruce I. Afran, the attorney for the four residents who brought the case, said Friday that both sides are preparing to go to trial. For its part, the university had no comment.

The two sides continue to try to settle the suit to avoid a trial and resolve a matter without enduring the uncertainty of a protracted legal battle that could end up at the state Supreme Court.
