Viva la Revolution!

This article is wonderful because it shows that even college presidents are sick of the arbitrary ranking system employed by US News and analyzed by students all over the country.  Hopefully this article will make you wonder why anyone pays attention to these rankings in the first place.  If colleges stop supplying the data and prospective students refuse to craft their college lists based on these numbers, then a real college admissions revolution will be underway...and it will be better for everyone.

So true. And Stony Brook has done well in the rankings, so you'd think I'd be all for them; but it drives me nuts how people think about rankings first, then everything else second. Ugh.

I stumbled across a good thought on this from the president of Sarah Lawrence College also.
