The academic ranking of world universities conducted by Shanghai Jiao Tong University has been established for over 20 years and is now recognized as the best indicator. The recently released 2025 rankings show that California has 9 universities in the top 100, Texas has 1, and Florida has 0; in the 101-150 range: California has 1, Texas has 1, and Florida has 0; in the 151-200 range: California has 1, Texas has 0, and Florida has 1. The Republican Party has already ruined the universities in red states and now wants to take down those in blue states.
