“The fact that U.S. News, a private commercial entity, has that much influence is incredibly disturbing.”
—New America Editor Stephen Burd on the negative impact of the U.S. News & World Report annual college rankings.
React - Disturbing is that colleges and universities, particularly HBCUs, continuing to be co-conspirators in their own disenfranchisement as created by these rankings. While several presidents, including Howard University President Wayne A.I. Frederick and Winston-Salem State University Chancellor Elwood Robinson have spoken out against the rankings, far too many institutions use them in their marketing and engagement campaigns. And then we wonder why “higher ranked” predominantly white institutions have better chances at recruiting Black students away from HBCUs.
