Title: College Rankings mini-scandal
Post by: Al Doggity on August 17, 2007, 08:35:58 AM
So, stuff like this isn't really too surprising, but it's interesting to see just how image conscious these schools really are.

No, I don't have a problem with them using my office, but there may be an issue in the fact that I'm still completing the F/w 07s. I'll be spending the majority of my time on the 11th floor next week, so if Tim needs access to any yellow or blue labeled files, make sure he gets a temporary PIN# from HR. 

Incidentally, Sarah and I discovered another flaw in the new software last night. It appears that there's a compatability issue and it doesn't actually update the database in real time. We were working on congruent analytics and when I cross-referenced with her, it updated with outdated research. It's highly unlikely that this will turn into a serious issue, but since you've already contacted the vendor about the other problems, a spoonful of prevention here couldn't hurt.

These rankings don't change much.  The usual suspects:  Princeton, Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Cornell, MIT, etc., etc.
