this guy is definitely trying to say something and wording it very poorly

cheriebomb

19:15

oh okay so his point is just that they used to consider expenditures per student as a factor, which helped H&Y bc they have greater endowments/higher tuition costs, and now they don’t and this will hurt them. and also that this is the only major self-reported factor that would have been affected by boycotting

Babyricotta45

19:15

why do US News rankings matter more than any other ranking

Babyricotta45

19:15

Genuine question

cheriebomb

19:16

I think because they have more access to lawyers, judges, etc. to evaluate peer opinions on law schools, access to data that other sources may not, and also have just been considered the authority for a long time

Interesting

do yall see the prestige status of ivies changing in the next few decades or no

https://abovethelaw.com/2011/02/latest-cooley-law-school-rankings-achieve-new-heights-of-intellectual-dishonesty/ they’re a standardized and allegedly impartial ranking system. law schools and outside sources sometimes try to create their own rankings to promote an agenda, ex: above

@Babyricotta45: I mean, it's not really valued as highly on the west coast as just going to berk or ucla so yeah, I think it already kinda sucks.

Obsessed with the 2009 ranking Cooley came up with: 1. Harvard University 2. Georgetown University 3. New York University 4. University of Virginia 5. University of Texas 6. University of Michigan 7. Northwestern University 8. Columbia University 9. Yale Law School 10. George Washington University 11. University of Minnesota 12. Thomas M. Cooley Law School 13. Fordham University 14. University of California-Los Angeles 15. American University 16. University of Pennsylvania 17. University of California-Hastings 18. Stanford University 19. University of Maryland 20. University of California-Berkeley

Could also go to Stanford and USC and people would like that more than going to an Ivy on the east coast.

@cheriebomb: Yep, that makes more sense.

Babyricotta45

19:23

True but times are a changin

jackfrost11770

19:23

i mean they've been prestigious for like 300 years

jackfrost11770

19:24

literally

jackfrost11770

19:24

and prestige really is word of mouth like eg i don't think anyone cares that nyu and harvard law are like the same ranking wise harvard is harvard

I wanna be where the conservatives are, In the halls of power, reaching for the stars. I wanna sit with Scalia, learn from his wisdom, And clerk for Thomas, in the heart of the system. The Gop, with all its power and might, A world of wonder, shining so bright. Am I the girl who has everything, In this conservative dream I am enveloping.
