Hmmm…I think if you are looking for them in a longer piece to be clear as to what this ranking means that this link isn’t exactly what you had in mind!

“For the Right Choice category, students were asked, “If you could start
over, would you still choose this college?” LBC earned a score of 9.46
out of 10.”

Sounds like a very brain-washed contingent of students.

In reply to Ford1968. Perhaps you should repost there if you want replies to your comments.

I’ve read a lot of education ranking press releases, and while these short blurbs from TMU would be fine as ledes for stories with further detail, by themselves they are missing the specifics to fill out a story and support what exactly this means. I fully expect as a reader to see some other explanation to dig deeper to: links to/quotes from what the WSJ said about these schools, etc. Without that detail, the blurbs do seem a bit misleading as to what the ranking means. Let’s just say that this kind of practice would not fly in my milieu.

Furthermore, it’s interesting that the wording is “right choice” – very authoritative, without any backup as to why other than the authority of WSJ. Don’t question – listen to us, listen to the WSJ, come here and soak up what we say about everything, because we are right. But maybe I’m over-exercising my English major analysis muscles on that one.

In reply to Warren Throckmorton. Yes. Weird. Should have been on the post about Littman’s methodology. I don’t think it was user error...but, then again, I never do.
