Why do we even use Peer Assessment when there are people who are so strongly biased like this man?

We don't even have to assume bias to know that this methodology is fatally flawed (although I don't doubt that bias is rampant). It is simply not credible that every college official knows enough about every other college in the country to formulate a useful assessment. The vast majority of the peer assessments are inevitably based on reputation, or bias, or both.
In fact, IMO the entire notion of rankings is fatally flawed.
