Xiggi leaves out the rest of the Wisconsin story. The official who did that was relieved of his duties in that regard. He also offers a more detailed explanation. Of course no private instutions were even subject to such scrutiny as they would never divilge such information.

With so much weight already given to the quality and selectivity of students, I think the time is well past due for the faculty to get its own ranking as part of the overall ranking. For research U’s it would be fairly easy to come up with a list of quantitative factors at least as compelling as SAT scores and class rank/gpa etc. Faculty awards, publications, memberships the various learned societies, research grants awarded etc.

For LACs I leave it to others to figure out a system as most LAC faculty have much thinner resumes.
