[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]W&L boosters are like W&M boosters, crying about their old rankings while failing to take any responsibility about why they can’t keep up with the new metrics. [/quote]

No, some people just think that the old rankings were more relevant to the quality of education provided by a school (ex average class size) than the factors emphasized in the new rankings (ex # of Pell Grant recipients enrolled).  [/quote]
This is so tired. The “new rankings” are mostly about academic quality. Many schools didn’t move; if yours did, maybe it should keep up with everyone else who can provide an education for all.[/quote]

I’m not sure why you are so bothered by the fact the some people find the factors measured in the pre 2020 US News rankings to be more relevant to college quality than the current rankings. There are quite a few different college ranking systems out there (WSJ, Forbes, US News, Niche, etc) and all place weight on different factors. It’s up to parents and students to figure out what each ranking system measures and determine what system most closely matches their idea of a high quality college. Opinions will differ and that’s ok. [/quote]
I'm not bothered. I just think it is disingenuous bs.I'm not bothered. I just think it is disingenuous bs. Opinions will differ and that's ok.[/quote]
I think the bot broke. [/quote]
Haha, you’re so funny. 
It gets tiring dealing with people like you who absolutely despise poor people. It’s gross.[/quote]

+1 devaluing rankings that emphasize helping the less fortunate is so classist. But to them, they might truly believe classist behavior is normal and objective. They can keep living in 2020 lol [/quote]
