[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sadly, these rankings are not meaningless and take on substantive lives of their own which involve mega millions of dollars pertaining to all stakeholders: the universities and colleges, parents and students' prospective tuition and living costs, donations and fundraising among alumni and other contributors, recruitment of students and staff - and not to be underestimated - national and global academic egos. Such lists have become a national and international pastime, akin to ranking racing horses at sweepstakes no less than the Kentucky Derby. 'Who can beat Sea Biscuit' this season ?[/quote] True. But it also makes the Standford dude look small to be so personally invested in these ranking games. [/quote]
