| Rollins and kmatimber:
Here's an idea. Go argue the validity of this ranking system to people on the MIT forum or better yet, on the LAC forums for Grinnell, Macalester or Middlebury. If you can win the people on those forums over to your point of view, I will open my mind to the possibility that Forbes' choice of methodology isn't complete hogwash. And unsubstantiated hogwash at that, since not a shred of data is offered to back up the rankings as presented. |
