College rankings in general need to better reflect what students are getting out of the experience and the education, a marketing expert tells FOX News Digital.
says college"rankings" need to better take into account what students themselves are looking for in an institution, as one famous list came under fire this week for what critics said was a flawed methodology.rankings that came out Monday, which put a greater emphasis on"social mobility" and advancement for poorer students, and discounted past metrics like average class size and alumni giving.
"More than 50% of an institution’s rank now comprises varying outcome measures related to success in enrolling and graduating students from all backgrounds with manageable debt and post-graduate success. In addition, five factors were removed: class size, faculty with terminal degrees, alumni giving, high school class standing and the proportion of graduates who borrow federal loans," the company announced with its latest rankings.
"That’s what the promise of higher education, the value proposition—if you will. It’s not just knowledge acquisition; education is supposed to be the means by which people are able to elevate themselves in society. Get a good job and have a chance at the American dream. This furthers discourse around the validity of higher education.
