[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, folks. Enough of this "everyone cheats, so what" argument. No one buys that. Only some colleges are prone to cheating. The "ranking climbers at any cost", schools with not much stuff inside and want to hide that fact, etc.

Columbia and NEU fall into all these buckets. Columbia is basically a large university that is understaffed (large classes, fewer faculty), under financed (the administration is always out to make a buck), and in a relatively unsafe location relative to its Ivy peers.

I can't imagine the student-centered Ivies like Princeton, Brown, and Dartmouth  that don't care much about rankings cheat. Harvard and Yale wouldn't cheat either because their reputations are not made by US News. [/quote]

Uh no, Northeastern was never accused of cheating and even got kicked out like Berkeley, Emory, Columbia, etc.
After digging and digging, they could only claim that it gamed which suggests it played by the rules fairly unlike those cheating schools.
Northeastern in fact has one of the highest retention rates which suggests it's a student-centered school unlike your imagination.
