Alarm at rating website

Article Abstract:

The "Will I See my Tutor" website, apparently intended to enable students make informed choices for entry into universities in 2007 is causing alarm by providing incorrect data on departments and advising students to avoid them. The erroneous staff-to-student ratios used as the basis of evaluating departments has resulted in defaming named departments without any evidence, and legal advice is being sought by the universities to counter the allegations.
