Daily News | Penn will evaluate U.S. News rankings in light of Harvard and Yale’s decision to withdraw
Harvard and Yale law schools made news Wednesday when they announced their withdrawal from U.S. News and World Report rankings, citing methodology that makes it more difficult for the schools to admit low-income students.Heather K. Gerken, dean of Yale’s Law School, which for years has ranked No. 1, said “they disincentivize programs that support public interest careers, champion need-based aid, and welcome working-class students into the profession.
The University of Pennsylvania’s law school applauded the universities “for their leadership in raising key questions.” While it has not decided to withdraw, Penn Carey Law in a statement cited problems with the rankings and and said it will evaluate the issue and a process for making a decision.Temple's former business school dean was sentenced to 14 months in rankings scandal fraud
“While useful in some ways, the rankings don’t provide a clear or complete perspective into institutional priorities for educating future lawyers,” the school said in a statement. “Among the problems with the current system, the U.S. News algorithm severely undercounts money spent on financial aid for students, while fully rewarding schools for every dollar spent on faculty and administrator salaries and other operating expenses.
The school noted that it has increased financial aid and support for students pursuing public interest careers.Eric Gertler, executive chairman and CEO of U.S. News, defended the rankings in a statement and said they are to help students make the best decision about which school to attend. “We will continue to fulfill our journalistic mission of ensuring that students can rely on the best and most accurate information in making that decision,” he said. “As part of our mission, we must continue to ensure that law schools are held accountable for the education they will provide to these students and that mission does not change with these recent announcements.”
