We received requests from 17 departments in the United States, Britain, Canada, and Australasia for inclusion in the 2014 PGR surveys. Members of the Advisory Board were given the faculty lists and asked to vote on inclusion based on whether they thought the faculties in question might rank in the top cohort in their region of the world (top 50 in the US, top 15 in Britain, top 5 elsewhere). A majority of the Board voted in favor of adding two faculties to the 2014 survey: those at Texas A&M University and at the University of Manchester. The next draft of the faculty lists will include them. (Faculties not included in the 2014 surveys can still be included in the specialty rankings, based on past PGR performance and/or recommendations of members of the Advisory Board in the relevant specialties.)
(We can not include all PhD-granting faculties in the surveys because of the burden on evaluators. We are already including more faculties for fall 2014 than in the last iteration.)
