.YaleLawSch won't participate in 'flawed' USNews rankings
In a lengthy statement Wednesday, Yale Law School Dean Heather Gerken announced that the prestigious legal education institution would no longer participate in the rankings, which she said are"profoundly flawed.""Since the very beginning, Yale Law School has taken the top spot every year," Gerken said."Yet, that distinction is not one that we advertise or use as a lodestar to chart our course. ...
The U.S. News & World Report lists, which are updated annually, are widely considered to be the gold standard of college rankings, and institutions often advertise and promote their placement as a marker of prestige and excellence. The methodology used to calculate the rankings includes peer assessment, employment rates for graduates, bar passage rate, faculty-student ratio, and average student debt incurred.
"While I sincerely believe that U.S. News operates with the best of intentions, it faces a nearly impossible task, ranking 192 law schools with a small set of one-size-fits-all metrics that cannot provide an accurate picture of such varied institutions. Its approach not only fails to advance the legal profession, but stands squarely in the way of progress," Gerken said.
