[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hard to believe that eliminating Class Size and % of faculty with Terminal degrees in favor of % of Pell Grant recipients and # of 1st gen students translates to a better ranking. Completely ludicrous.[/quote] What does this mean in english please?[/quote] I think the PP meant to say that USNWR believes their ranking format is better now despite removing variables from the equation that intuitively makes a lot sense (like Class Size and % of professors with Phds) and adding others (or at least increasing the weight) that a lot of people do not perceive as making a university a better educational institution (% of Pell Grant Recipients and % of students that are 1st generation)[/quote] I agree with PP. Removing class size and terminal degrees in favor of Pell grants recipients is absolutely ridiculous…this is why State schools jumped in the rankings and smaller privates dropped.[/quote]
