I wonder what other universities are lying to make their academics look great. I didn’t know it was an honor system. The university gives USNWR their data and they rank the school using that data.
Check out all the drama with law schools
UT had an undergraduate program that didn’t even exist ranked.
It’s all smoke and mirrors, but the funny thing is, the best schools are also the ones that can afford the smoke and the mirrors.
Meh.
It’s a little white lie about their online Ed School programs using in person program rankings.
Whoopee.
I would think a prosecutor wouldn’t downplay collusion/fraud between entities to help get better students interested in USC’s Education program than they actually deserved, over the course of 5 years, while simultaneously padding 2U’s pockets…
Someone probably has a joint on them that needs to be put on probation, though…
Thia reminds of when a certain school provided data to www.chronicle.com, such as:
Texas Tech once claimed 55 schools were its peers. 27 of them were AAU members.

Isn’t that how UT does the athletic rankings?
stuff like this has been going on for a long time
it is similar to claiming classifications as “rankings” as well…just academic dishonesty
