  Universiti Sains Malaysia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) is one of three universities in Malaysia that have been identified as research-intensive universities in Malaysia.
USM was established as the second university in Malaysia in 1969 and it was first known as Universiti Pulau Pinang.
From the outset, Universiti Sains Malaysia was given the mandate to provide, promote and develop higher education in the fields of pure sciences, applied sciences, pharmaceutical sciences, building sciences and technology, social sciences, humanities and education as well as to provide research, advancement and dissemination of such knowledge.

 University Education--Dual Mode Institutions: The Off-Campus Centre of Universiti Sains Malaysia
USM is also unique among the distance teaching institutes (DTI) of the ASEAN (Association of South East Asian Nations) region in that it is one of the very few conventional dual mode universities having such a program.
USM required that course delivery should be appropriate to the needs of home-based learners but, even so, the university in its transcripts and other official documents deliberately does not distinguish those graduating through the off-or on-campus mode.
USM's unique strategy of bringing their off-campus students on campus to study full-time for their last year of study not only enriches the older students but also benefits the lecture room environment where healthy debate and broader perspectives are shared with younger classmates.

 EDUCATION IN MALAYSIA: Universiti Sains Malaysia: Equally Clueless?
USM Vice-Chancellor, Prof Datuk Dr Dzulkifli Abdul Razak was also interviewed by the Star, for the drop from 111th to "unranked".
The real and only reason why USM was even in the Top 200 in the first place, is because the guys engaged by THES to compile the data, QS QuacquarelliSymmonds Limited, made a major boo boo with the USM data.
I believe what USM is doing is not that they do not know the cause of the drop, its just that they want a some sort of endorsement from a "whiteman" to say that "this..is the actual cause of the drop in ranking".
