<p>The article just reinforces my posted views of what a joke peer assessments are as a factor in USNWR rankings. </p>
<p>My takeaway is that Clemson is doing what a lot of colleges are doing, they just had someone be brutally honest about it. If Clemson is attracting better students over the last several years, more power to them. Still, it would be interesting if someone were to request peer assessment records from Clemson and other public universities under disclosure laws and report the results. Now, THAT would be interesting.</p>
