[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UC Merced is a top 50 school by US News. [b]Equity is key at US News.[/b][b] Alabama doesn't score well in that department.[/quote] Equity is not keeping Alabama at 170. [/b]UC Merced is ranked high because the Regents offered attractive packages and grants to productive and prestigious faculty from other schools. [/quote][b] No, Merced is ranked high precisely because equity is valued in USNWR’s algorithm and because it likes Merced’s social mobility opportunities. Merced has a 97% acceptance rate and is only 5% white. And 53% Hispanic, 23% Asian, 5% black, 10% mixed, etc. USNWR likes these numbers.[/quote]
