[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But this argument is disingenuous. The “Ivy League” is seen as the definitive stamp of academic excellence/pedigree. Clearly “Ivy Plus” is just an attempt to add other institutions to that list. It’s not an unreasonable attempt. Economists such as Raj Chetty coined the term in the course of research on education. The question remains why Northwestern was not seen to have the same pedigree. [/quote] Meh, there’s a shift with the rise of STEM education. Nowadays, a lot of people wouldn’t classify Dartmouth or Brown at the same level as Harvard or Princeton.[/quote] You actually mean Engineering and CS not classical STEM. Because engineers and CS majors are mostly trained rather than educated your hypothesis is wildly incorrect.[/quote]
