Харвард застава начело на класацията на университетите според тяхната репутация в проучванията и преподаването. Класацията е изготвена от Times Higher Education и цитирана от британския Телеграф. Следват MIT и Станфорд – също американски университети, които изместват двата британски лидера Кеймбридж и Оксфорд, класирали се досега в топ 3. За британските медии това е тревожен сигнал, че двата им най-елитни университета в това изследване застават вече след три американски университета.
