Whoever wrote this really hates Columbia and loves Upenn.
Must've been a pro-Israel author that had a hand in writing this.
But seriously, they just lost a lot of credibility with this weird ranking.

PP here. Don’t think too hard. I just glanced at the ranking, didn’t see where Columbia or UPenn fell. But it’s good we have a critical, suspicious mind, looking at these rankings. That’s our job as readers.

In my humble opinion, these ranking gamers usually follow what their readership thinks (to sell subscriptions). That’s why Harvard is usually tops in any ranking magazines. Can you imagine a magazine ranking Harvard at #80? Nobody will buy that ranking. WSJ, however, can rank Naval Academy at #80. Why? Their readership usually doesn’t consist of military types so it doesn’t give a hoot about service academies.

So there is logic behind these rankings after all. It’s probably driven by subscriptions.

So annoying.

If we don’t pay for content we won’t have news organizations. Small price to pay.
