Sometimes it is easiest to avoid asking difficult questions in the name of diplomacy; other times it is imperative that critical topics be addressed. How do higher education institutions take on this challenge?

When reading a report on international higher education, always check the methodology section first. That way, you can determine whether the credibility of the research holds up.
