Thought about @harvardmed@twitter.com & @usnews@twitter.com. Searched deeply inside. No. I do not have any opinion about this. Also no feeling. Simply nothing.
But, Iโm a great fan of @hmkyale@twitter.com - so I guess itโs important ๐๐ผ
Question: what about #USNWR hospital ranking should this be dropped? https://twitter.com/hmkyale/status/1615378286267310082
Institutions should publish the data that they provide to #UniversityRankings organisations.
Students/applicants/some funders use rankings despite oversimplification etc. Withdrawing, as US law schools and others from #USNWR, is likely a good response but leaves a vacuum.
Research-grade data might support a better system, #OpenScience style.

Update. I won't keep extending this thread indefinitely. But I do want to add that #HarvardMedicalSchool just joined #HarvardLawSchool in refusing to take part in the #USNWR #rankings.

Did all of these #lawschools pull out of #USNWR #rankings because I made such a compelling argument? ๐คฃ
Fascinating time to watch #T14s decide they no longer want to participate in #USNWR #lawschool #rankings https://abovethelaw.com/2022/11/yale-law-school-pulls-out-of-u-s-news-rankings-like-michael-jordan-skipping-slam-dunk-contest/

Georgetown Law just withdrew from #USNWR ranking system. Dean said decision was independent. So no #antitrust issues. Not #collusion
Plan to do a full review of US News and World Report #USNWR #Pediatric Hospital rankings.
The key is the scoring system. Preview - it has the fingerprints of bias and self interest all over it. How can it not include ENT and Ophthalmology??
Congrats on pulling out of #USNWR #rankings, @berkeleylaw! #lawprofs #lawfedi #lawschool
