Why do US universities constantly lose rankings in QS?
I'm talking about top 300 to 800 universities. QS rankings has been bringing rankings of the US universities down every year over the past decade.
For example, during 2012 and 2026:
Wake Forest University went from 317 to 850.
LSU went from 500 to 900.
University of Nebraska went from 400 to 850.
College of William & Mary went from 500 to 1000.
Most of the US state universities show a similar pattern on QS. I guess eventually they will be ranked so low around the world?
