Wasn’t the goal to be a top50 public per Khator ? We’re there

Yes that is correct but I think she was talking more about the US News ranking. Neither the less, it’s still a very good accomplishment.

UH was a top 50 public university last year for Forbes. We just moved up a couple of spots this year.

Khator’s main ranking is USNews. I think she wants to hit top 50 on that specific ranking.

Yeah, US News are really the only rankings that matter in the US. As critical as one might be of their methodology, they’re the one that the overwhelming bulk of potential applicants and their parents are looking at. Nobody really cares about what Forbes and the WSJ have to say about this. The only other guide that really matters here is Princeton Review, and they don’t do an ordered overall ranking.
