Some of the complaining colleges don’t like to see the emphasis on hard numbers like SAT scores or class ranking. I am sure many colleges would not like to see an emphasis on faculty:student ratio. I think it is ironic that they also want to avoid subjective measures like peer assessment. I guess they want to market themselves with the college brochure images of students playing frisbee on the campus lawns.
