College presidents protest US News & World survey
A dozen of college presidents are rebelling against the annual college ranking compiled by US News & World Report. In a letter dated May 5, these presidents requested their colleagues at approximately 1,000 liberal arts school to refuse from participating in this survey. This letter is the brainchild of Loyld Thacker, founder of the Education Conservancy, a non-profit education-advocacy organisation in Portland, Oregon. He was quoted in the media saying that he is trying to build a movement and picked those schools and colleges which he thought would demonstrate little more courage and engage in this initiative.
The US News rankings of liberal-arts colleges requires data and indicators which include peer assessment, retention figures, faculty resources, student electivity, financial resources, graduation-rate performance and alumni giving rate.
