I'm not sure how US News is wrong. They have a methodology. People can put whatever stock they want into it. Sounds like something is working if schools can't lower their test scores and avoid falling in the ranks
- vineyardmike 4y ago> They have a methodology. People can put whatever stock they want into it. The problem is that there isn’t really another ranking and their methodology isn’t something most people can reason able (even if it’s public). Also the universities do lie and make up stats apparently (Columbia had this issue this year).
- nonethewiser 4y agoSounds like a clear signal to take it with a grain of salt.
- lo_zamoyski 4y ago> I'm not sure how US News is wrong. They have a methodology. People can put whatever stock they want into it. The point would be that ranking produced by the methodology is rarely interpreted in light of the methodology. Method follows aim and purpose, and so aim and purpose are that by which we measure the quality of a methodology. If the methodology doesn't produce a ranking of the expected value, then that's a problem, especially when it is passed off as having that value.
