Gaming the College Rankings
By RICHARD PÉREZ-PEÑA and DANIEL E. SLOTNIK

Any love-hate relationship must have its share of pain, so the academic world, in its obsession with college rankings, is suitably dismayed by news that an elite college, Claremont McKenna, fudged its numbers in an apparent bid to climb the charts.

What a sad state of affairs that our schools of higher education sink so low so that they can look good to their peers.

My how morals have changed on so many levels!

[macintosh]

Only a fool would believe that this school is the only cheater.

[Tom Earp]

Of course not fair friend!

As I said, moral/morels are a low time in history!

Just look to Congress!

Higher education is a huge business and are looking for big bucks anywhere they can get them anymore. So why not cheat to get it?

I see where the Missouri Un. system is once again raising tuition for the 3 rd time in so many years and they are a public state schools.

Pretty soon, we will out source our intelligence base along with everything else!

Every year our UGa brags about increased enrollment.

Every year UGa wants more money from the state.

Is there a connection?

I'd suggest reducing enrollment to match the available $$$.

Do you really think that is the answer when Obama is wanting more students to go to college.

Oh, right they are cause they cannot find any jobs!

Like any big business, they want more $$$ to build more buildings for "Quote Education" and not dorms.
