[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rankings are just one of the references and factors to consider especially when coming up with an initial list. It's helpful for the purpose. Ranking obsessed people want to see it go away.[/quote] +1. I’m a Columbia alum and I’m not happy they submitted crappy data but I do think they’re doing the right thing to take some time and figure out what certain metrics do mean and what they can reasonably report rather than sweeping it under the rug. I’m proud the Columbia professor blew the whistle. It takes some balls to bite then hand that feeds you, even if you’re tenured. [/quote] Columbia is not not taking time to think about anything. Columbia refused to submit the more detailed data that USNWR wanted because it would show that the data they submitted earlier was fraudulent. As a result, USNWR kicked Columbia out of the rankings.
