USN ranking used to put more weight on the graduate programs in which Berkeley etc shine. The graduate programs in Berkeley, Michigan etc are still top notch,  but the undergraduate programs market is much bigger than the graduate one, so USN ranking has shifted the focus towards the undergraduate programs.

Public perception has changed and private schools started to gain a lot of money. [/quote]

USNWR rankings now significantly weigh resources, which favors wealthy private schools and schools with medical schools (even though many of those resources may have nothing to do with the undergraduate program).  It is likely one of the reasons Berkeley has fallen behind UCLA in public rankings is it does not have a medical school.  The resources numbers in the IPEDS database, which is what USNWR uses, shows UCLA with far more resources.

That's a good thing. During times like these schools with wealth and financial stability should be rewarded. We see Georgetown in financial trouble, which is sad for such a great school.

Pertaining to the tiers, I find it interesting that 2B is very large compared to the other groupings. [/quote]

Duke suspended retirement contributions.  This Covid thing is going to impact all schools.[/quote]
