.USNews overhauls law school rankings formula after top schools jump ship
Chief Data Strategist Robert Morse and Senior Vice President for Data and Information Strategy Stephanie Salmon said they heard complaints from numerous deans that the existing ranking methodology was flawed and they would make important changes to the methodology for the 2023-2024 edition."In recent weeks, we have had conversations with more than 100 deans and representatives of law schools," Morse and Salmon wrote.
The changes come after a number of highly ranked law schools, including Harvard University, Yale University, Stanford University, and Georgetown University, announced they would no longer participate in the rankings, which are widely recognized as the gold standard for ranking institutions of higher education.
In their letter to the deans, Morse and Salmon said the next edition of the rankings would treat all fellowships equally and give"full weight" to those who pursue further graduate studies in their employment outcomes.The magazine has vowed to continue ranking the law schools that would no longer participate, but the lack of cooperation from institutions could adversely affect the rankings, which heavily rely on data collected through surveys completed by each institution.
