Speaking of liberal arts colleges, here's a piece discussing how presidents of 15 of them joined forces to renounce the U.S. News rankings. Some of them refused to participate in the survey. You'll see the usual carping: quality can't be quantified; rankings mislead students and parents; numbers can't capture the quality of classroom instruction; and reputation rankings favor the brand names.
New year, same complaints.
