The U.S. News & World Report rankings, released amid ongoing turmoil in American colleges, show that top schools like Princeton and MIT maintained their prestigious positions, despite ongoing criticisms of the rankings' methodologies.
U.S. News insists that its business relationships with schools do not influence rankings, stating that it performs a public service by simplifying the college selection process for students and parents.
Despite the rankings being publicly praised, university leaders often harbor private disdain for them, reflecting a complex relationship with an assessment that is both coveted and criticized.
Many stakeholders view the U.S. News rankings as contributing to an unhealthy obsession with selectivity in college admissions, leading to a 'false altar' around the rankings' influence.
