Claremont McKenna Admission Stats

Claremont McKenna Admission Stats April 25, 2012 In light of the Claremont McKenna admission stats scandal, US News World Report, the publisher of the most important college rankings, has released a statement, as reported by Bob Morse. Writes Morse in his column on Claremont McKenna, Regarding Claremont McKennas current rank, No. 9, as published in the 2012 Best Colleges rankings, U.S. News World Report Editor and Chief Content Officer Brian Kelly said, Our calculation shows that based on the data now being reported by Claremont McKenna as correct, Claremont McKenna Colleges ranking will not change.' US News World Report will not be changing Claremont McKennas #9 rank in this years National Liberal Arts Colleges ranking. What about the rankings for past years of misreported data? That answer is still unclear. So after all of that after the vice president of admissions and financial aid violated the ethics of his post and discredited the schools reputation, their ranking, as we understand it, would be no different than had he reported the true admission stats. US News World Report has made a decision not to change Claremont McKennas rank of #9 in the category of National Liberal Arts Colleges. It is our understanding that the rank wouldnt change because the difference between the true and false data wasnt significant enough to warrant a drop in rank, but it could be that US News World Report has just decided on an individual basis not to change the schools rank. From Mr. Morses article, were just not sure without doing the calculations ourselves. Do you think Claremont McKenna should have been disqualified from the rankings? When it was discovered that the University of Michigan made recruiting violations with the Fab Five, they had to vacate Final Four appearances. Does that change your opinion on Claremont McKenna and the US News World Report rankings?
