The drop in the ranking of UP, Ateneo, DLSU, and UST in the list of top universities have been worrying many sectors, and currently being debated upon. For one, Ateneo must be fuming mad since it is actively seeking to improve its rank, while UP publicly claims it was not participating yet emerges as the top PH school.
Only UP (or other State U's) can claim that the meager budget it received from the government has a direct correlation with what facilities it can maintain and how much happy their staff and faculties would be, but the same cannot be claimed by the private universities.
So what ills our schools?
