[quote=Anonymous]Folks are quick to criticize the schools for having and charging big $$ but so much of USNWR ranking criteria measure (directly or indirectly) exactly that. Financial resources is literally 8-10% of the ranking. Faculty salaries+ student-faculty ratio is another 12%. Ability to support low income students without their taking on debt — that’s financial aid, so that costs $. Keeping graduation rates high also requires staffing, so $$. The cost of college is obscene. But that is what precisely what we are incentivizing by focusing on rankings. What we incentivize, we amplify. [/quote]
