Seven months ago, dozens of elite law schools and medical schools announced that they were boycotting the US News & World Report rankings and refusing to give the publication any data. The rankings, they said, were unreliable and skewed educational priorities.
Yale Law School, the instigator of the boycott, is among those that see the rankings as incorrigible. Facing a revolt, US News went on a listening tour of more than 100 schools and conducted what it said was the most significant revision of its methodology. “If this is the employment metric that they’re using for Yale Law School, it’s entirely incorrect and flatly inconsistent with the methodologies outlined on their website,” Ms Kroszner said.
