[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree Midd is in decline as is Trinity and Wesleyan. Colby on an upward trajectory![/quote]

Colby was ranked #11 in USNews in 2022. Last year it was 25. Doesn't sound much like an upward trajectory to me![/quote]
Colby just got a ton of money. But US News does not decide things on this front, in any event. Observers know which way certain colleges are “moving.” Midd is not in the decline because of US News methodology, but because of its own, well-documented issues.[/quote]

Well discussed and well understood.

There are no “issues” at Middlebury but there was a well documented change the USNWR methodology regarding which IPEDs number was used for determining the student population which had a big impact on their resources per student calculation because the using the 12 month number added 2200 summer language school kids to their population when calculating resources per student. Forbes made a similar change and Middlebury is no longer ranked as a small school though it did not affect their overall ranking in Forbes.

So their resources per student were accurately tabulated and that’s bad? [/quote]

The 2200 people in a short (and very profitable) summer program should not be considered fulltime students for calculating endowment per student or as spending per student during the regular term. If you are too dense to understand that you are hopeless.[/quote]
