3 Top Law Schools Pull Out of US News & World Rankings Over Equity Concerns
U.S. News executive chairman and CEO Eric Gertler said the rankings are meant to help students make the best decision in choosing a law school.
Some critics have seen the U.S. News rankings as more a measure of privilege than educational quality. Lincoln College in Illinois will close its doors after the pandemic and a cyberattack weakened the institution. Ransomware attacks can start with an attacker buying or guessing a password that allows access to their target's systems, information security analyst Allan Liska says on LX News. He explains how these attacks can happen and how to dodge them.
Not long after the Yale announcement, Harvard Law School Dean John Manning wrote in his own blog post Wednesday that he and other law school leaders had previously expressed concerns to U.S. News about the rankings. In particular, he said the prioritization of LSAT scores and college grades encourages law schools to use scholarships to attract higher-scoring candidates, directing resources away from need-based financial aid that would help less affluent students.
