U.S. News & World Report changes ranking system after Harvard, Yale cite 'diversity' concerns

[Anonymous]

U.S. News & World Report, a giant in the school ranking industry, announced on Jan. 2 that it would change its ranking system in an attempt to appease schools like Harvard and Yale after complaints that the magazine was undermining "diversity."

The magazine also issued a public statement Tuesday on its website that further explained the reasoning behind why it changed its ranking methodology, in what it called a "series of modifications."

"While U.S. News generally incorporates incremental changes in each rankings cycle in consultation with legal professionals and academics, the recent discussions with the larger group of law schools provided the opportunity for additional focus," U.S. News & World Report wrote.

Harvard, Yale, and a number of other top law schools withdrew from the U.S. News & World Report's influential ranking system over the past year, claiming that it stifles diversity, aggravates wealth inequality and threatens public service careers.

I agree with the cited article that the elite law schools found Jesus in expectation of an upcoming US Supreme Court ruling banning affirmative action. This gives the richest schools an even stronger hand because they can afford diversity scholarships due to huge endowments.

I'm a bit lost. What's the new rankings system then?

Law schools

They change the methodology every couple years. Which is why people thinking a school going "up" or "down" doesn't make sense. They don't use the say system every year, so each year stands alone.

Wow. This is so interesting. Pure conjecture by Fox "News" and burying the lead by not making clear that we're talking about LAW schools, not undergrad.
