Princeton University tops the influential rankings of U.S. colleges and universities for the 13th straight year.
U.S. News released its influential undergraduate college rankings Monday, a list that continues to inspire both fascination and derision.
“It’s time to stop worshiping at the false altar” of the U.S. News rankings, Cardona said at a gathering of law schools convened by Harvard and Yale to talk about how best to share data after those two schools and others left the U.S. News law school rankings last year. “Colleges spend enormous resources chasing rankings they feel carry prestige, but in practice, just Xerox privilege and drive-up costs.
Duke’s president, Vincent Price, said in a statement responding to the article that the school cares “deeply about socioeconomic diversity,” while acknowledging that the Duke has “more work to do in this area.” He cited efforts that are already underway that have “yielded significant positive results,” including expanding financial aid for students from the Carolinas.
Changes in U.S. News’s methodology this year appear to be a response to some of those concerns. More than half of a school’s ranking is based on measures of post-graduate success, including graduation rates for first-generation and low-income students. The publication dropped acceptance rate as a metric a few years ago, and this year stopped counting class size, alumni giving and three other factors schools had derided.
