[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s about Pell grants. How important are Pell grants to you in terms of ranking a college or university? Next year all these type of things are going away. So I guess the ranking will radically change again.[/quote] Except for a few schools, the bigger impact was the stuff that got dropped, some of which made sense (alumni giving) and some of which didn’t (faculty with terminal degrees).[/quote] If the College has less faculty with terminal degrees than my kids’ high school, he is not going there….How in the world this is not a part of the rankings is absurd…. And Class size….another ridiculous one….100 vs 12 in a class….give me a break[/quote] I was saying it made sense to drop alumni giving, but not to drop faculty with terminal degrees.[/quote] I think alumni giving should be given some weight. It's something the very tip top schools excel in.[/quote]
