I tend to agree, but why then did Columbia fudge the numbers?
I think there’s some envy from the “lesser ivys” that they wish they were Harvard or Princeton. A high USNews ranking proves little, but I guess Columbia wanted to be tied with Harvard.
- genericone 4y agoColumbia incentivized administration MBAs to increase the rankings, perhaps attached to bonuses. They did it unscrupulously by fudging the numbers and so Columbia will hopefully will dis-incentivize the behavior in the future, and so perhaps will other schools... doubt it.
