2025 U.S. News Rankings

So many things about methodology confuse me- possibly my ignorance at fault.

For example:

Faculty salaries and post grad salaries both are weighted. Won’t those be skewed by location? Like areas that have higher cost of living also have higher salaries?

Do more kids at expensive schools have Pell grants than at more affordable schools?

Do graduation rates hurt schools with big time sports programs that might not graduate all the athletes for various reasons?
