[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Colleges like UC Berkeley, Emory, and others actually got caught 'gaminig/cheating' rankings, but never heard of Northeastern.
Looks like the penelty is pretty big if you get caught.

Fascinating...THIS is actually deceptive stuff.  To my knowledge, nobody has accused Northeastern of doing anything deceptive...in fact, the criticism has always been how openly they made decisions based on the USNews ranking factors. (e.g., okay, U.S. News cares about % of classes under 20 students....let's push most of our classes to be just under 20 students.)

To be clear, I don't think that's a great way to make decisions, but it's not criminal.  It is really interesting that nobody talks about these cases re: Berkeley/Emory...[/quote]

Thanks for the info! [/quote]
