<p>Emory University has no plans to audit the data used to rate its graduate programs, even though leaders recently revealed the college submitted inflated undergraduate admissions data used by rankings publications.
College officials also refused to release the investigative report about the inflated data. As a private university Emory doesn’t have to share the report, but Claremont McKenna College, another private college caught in a similar scandal, posted its findings online.
“I’m puzzled they didn’t release the report,” said Brian Kelly, U.S. News & World Report Editor and Chief Content Officer. “If I’m a consumer, I’m suspicious.”
U.S. News is one of several publications that received Emory’s incorrect information. It didn’t affect Emory’s No. 20 ranking, he said.
Still, Kelly questioned why Emory doesn’t take the initiative and review its graduate programs. Various publications rank law, business and medical schools.
