[quote=Anonymous]Because so many colleges are TO, test scores are a flawed measure of peer quality. Getting rid of a second measure (also flawed to be sure) dilutes one measure of quality. Then they get rid of class size, which matters, faculty with PhDs, and the amount of spending per student. What that means is that schools that rely on adjuncts and TAs and big lecture-hall classes will rise in the rankings, and those that invest in small classes and quality instruction get short shrift. But hey, cram more Pell grant students into those lecture halls and all will be well. Oy. Maybe this will break everyone’s addiction to these ridiculous rankings. [/quote]
