Michael Thaddeus, the Columbia math professor whose analysis sparked a chain of events that resulted in his own university’s demotion, said the U.S. News list was ridiculous to begin with.
U.S. News said it used data from a range of alternative sources — including from the federal government — in Columbia’s latest ranking.

Columbia acknowledges giving incorrect data for U.S. News rankingsColumbia University expressed contrition over faulty data it supplied to U.S. News & World Report. A math professor had blown the whistle on the issue. Which faculty the Department of Prevarication belongs ? Social Science ? They should all give false data. Why keep propping up the false narrative that the Ivies are better in faculty and student quality than the top/flagship public universities and HBCUs? Better financial endowments don’t translate to top scholarship, just more rigid norms. the fact that class size is an important static is telling. Giving more points for educating less people is insane.
