[quote=Anonymous]In a perverse way, this could make the USNews rankings more relevant. They make literally all their $$$ from these various rankings, so they will not allow their cash cow to die. Maybe they will now start performing true independent research vs. this nonsense of asking college Deans to rank the perceived strength of a school that they know nothing about. While everyone claims to hate the various rankings, the Top 25 schools are fairly consistently the same across USNews, WSJ, Forbes, etc., with their rank within the Top 25 different based on the publication. Only rankings based entirely on demographic mobility or pure ROI produce significantly different rankings. The pure ROI rankings are always heavily weighted to schools like Olin or Colorado School of Mines where essentially you can only get a STEM degree.[/quote]
