Which begs the question - if you want to get top in rankings wouldn't you simply design the school around the objective ranking parameters and nothing else?

  Not sure if this is still true, but at one point, the biggest factor in the ranking was peer reputation rating. That kind of results in a self-reinforcing vicious cycle of top schools remaining top schools, but short of bribery, there isn't really any way to manipulate that at least.

  This is sort of what Columbia did… they juiced their faculty numbers by counting the med school which has much lower class sizes and more educated teachers.
