another rankings list. I don't hate it

Anonymous
What is the methodology?

If you click around, you'll see:

40% outcome
20% academics
20% selectivity
20% campus life

Of course, how each of these categories is defined is not immediately obvious.

It’s a list, put together by someone which roughly tracks the already known. It’s not a bad list but it says nothing new. The top R1s are the top R1s and the top SLACs are the top SLACs. One could quibble with it but why, there is nothing new.

Another ranking showing proof that usnews accurately ranks Reed college. Reed should be federally indicted for misinformation

This correctly recalibrates some schools, e.g., JHU, but obviously the work of a Penn grad.

Another ranking tell you US News ranking is best.

Looks more reasonable than US News.

I took a look at their methodology. This seems to be the same rankings after controlling for free speech.

What a joke. Ideological pluralism for faculty and students?? Political tolerance?? This is easily the most head scratching ranking ever.
