More than a dozen medical schools and more than 40 laws schools say they will no longer provide information to U.S. News & World Report for its rankings of colleges.
Where can prospective applicants to not only law and medical schools but also undergraduate colleges and other graduate programs find the clear and independent facts they need to choose among them?On that question, higher education’s elite are more muted. Almost none of the institutions that withdrew from the rankings would respond to it.
The issue is compounded by the problem that the information higher education institutions provide about themselves to the publictheir costs, postgraduate placement rates, whether credits will transfer and other important measureshas historically been, and in many cases still is, not accurate. But regulators have been slow to crack down on this, and colleges defend themselves by saying families can find the necessary caveats buried in the footnotes and fine print.
“We all know that the data is out there. We want to make sure we get it to our students in the most useful ways,” said Heather Gerken, dean of Yale Law School, who is heading up the conference in conjunction with her counterpart at Harvard.
