The magazines response to the situation is priceless. "We will judge them whether they like it or not." I love that quote.

I think the ranking system is flawed in every way, and I think the systems being proposed by all these colleges attempting to boycott are just as flawed. They really aren't looking into the aspect of college that matters the most: what you learn; how you learn; why you learn; where you learn; under what circumstances you learn. Each college has different answers to these questions and each individual has different needs. Everything else is irrelevant.
