[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]US News uses the same data that colleges are also required to report to the federal govt for various reasons. It’s easy to double check and that’s what US News does. [/quote] Even the federal government data can be "massaged". The IPEDS database is self-reported data and there is some freedom in how spending is reported. For instance, Yale has about 2X the "instruction" spend as Harvard or Princeton in that database. I could be wrong, but doubt that that is the case in reality.[/quote]
