Inaugural WSJ College Ratings

Release yesterday. Anyone subscribe to the WSJ online?

If so, where do we rank? Where do the Big 12 schools and expansion candidates rank?

From what little I have read, sounds like it is heavily biased in favor of private schools.

I was a bit off on my earlier post (we were #388 not #368), here’s the info:

First, methodology of the rankings:

Next, here’s the comparison that includes Big 12, AAC, Expansion Candidates, and some other Texas schools (Navy and Air Force weren’t included in the rankings).

UH stacks up fairly well…except when it comes to resources (and yes, the private schools are higher on the list because of this). We do rank highest in environment (which is mainly based on diversity so this one isn’t surprising).

Man, Texas Tech did not do well on this ranking.

Thanks for doing that, Patrick!

No problem

Wonderful, just what we need, another completely disfunction ratings system that will better serve the publisher than any student.

Maybe if they bothered reading this piece on their site they would have seen their rating system does more harm than good.

Gang, it’s behind a pay wall. Most of you will see:
