Yale Law School and Harvard Law School both say they will no longer participate in U.S. News & World Report’s annual ranking of law schools.
Yale Law School and Harvard Law School both said Wednesday they will no longer participate in U.S. News & World Report’s annual ranking of law schools, marking the biggest shakeup to the closely watched list in years.
“U.S. News continues to adopt metrics that undermine the legal profession and legal education,” Gerken told Reuters. “It seems like time to take a step back and decide whether this makes any sense.” Gerken said the rankings are misleading in part because they do not consider graduates in public interest fellowships funded by the schools be fully employed. And the way the rankings measure student debt does not take into account loan repayment assistance for those in public interest jobs, she said.
