USA Today has a piece on Washington Monthly’s college rankings.

If you think the US News rankings are silly, this will have you rolling on the floor. Why does the fact that lots of students are taking advantage of Pell Grants mean that the school is good? Ditto for the proclivity of alums to enter the Peace Corps. Those are proxies for leftist feel-good notions, but they don’t tell us anything about the schools’ educational value for students.
