Perhaps THE should totally take out the “international mix” category next year. After all, how is this a measure of the quality of the university? That being said, I would definitely like to see more emphasis on “industry income” because that really shows how much the university is having an impact on society.

I’m still not convinced why college rankings continue to give weightage to “reputation”. After all, as one person commented, “It’s like having a running race and giving the gold medal to the most famous runner. He might be famous for being really fast, but if that’s how we’re judging them, why hold the race at all?”
