Right? What is the dollar value of being able to boast you attended a school rated #2 by a magazine, based on criteria that say nothing about the quality of the education you, as in individual undergrad, actually received?

If Columbia had deliberately lied about its data and bragged about its ranking at USNWR to encourage students to apply, then there could be a liability issue.

Practically EVERY institution does the same thing, PP. I'm not giving you an argument about liability, but it's important to understand that no institution is fully honest when it comes to reporting data for rankings.

No they don’t. Not to this extent for sure.

Only if you can prove it.

You are innocent until proven guilty.
Columbia is proven guilty.

When dating, did you tell your future spouse that you'll be fat, ugly, grumpy, and negative when you are old? That you aren't as charming as you appear, that you are in reality a defecating and stinking human being? If not, you must be a fraud. The end.

Columbia cheated. They are out of the USNWR listing until September. Big deal!

Columbia will fall out of top ten when they return to rankings.

I wish the USNWR rankings would just go away. They've caused more harm than good over the years.

No it was very useful for me to screen out schools and come up with an initial list of colleges for my kids.

Nope. Northeastern was above board and simply (openly, transparently) that you could climb the rankings by "cracking the code." Columbia--and some other schools like Berkeley, and Emory-- have cheated (i.e., submitted fraudulent data) and have gotten caught.

Has anyone actually done the math to assess whereabouts they'd land if their data hadn't been fabricated?
