[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]
Midd endowment per student - not counting these summer kids - is just not on the same level as top SLACs. WASP, Bowdoin, and Grinnell have way over a million in endowment per student;Washington and Lee and Wellesley, a million; Claremont McKenna and Smith, over 750k; Davidson, Hamilton, Carleton, 600k; and Midd, Colby and Reed below 500k (but Colby just got wealthier). https://www.collegeraptor.com/college-rankings/details/EndowmentPerStudent/[/quote]

Raising their endowment is important to them I am sure but your math is quickly falling off. Middlebury’s endowment per student already surpasses Cornell and Columbia. In two years when they are finished shedding MIIS it will surpass Hamilton in the NESCAC as well as Brown and probably Penn. I think that they will be ok.[/quote]
So MIIS was a problem and was taking resources from the community? You people change your story every minute.[/quote]

Are you the same person who sh!ts on Middlebury in every single thread? What’s your beef with the school? Were you fired by a Midd grad? Did a Middlebury girl steal your boyfriend? I just don’t get the hate for a school that you likely have no tie to and no experience with.[/quote]
