<p>“Initially, Reed’s decision to boycott USNWR had a very injurious effect.”</p>
<p>I can’t find a Common Data Set for Reed going back to 2000 or before. Did you find something that shows the school was injured (and I don’t mean the ranking, which seems to be irrelevant, given Reed’s numbers since 2001)? </p>
