"The Harvard name is equivalent to George W. Bush's cowboy boots," says Dean of the Faculty Jeremy R. Knowles. "That is, the school's moniker is doffed or donned according to whether the candidate wants to appear folksy or polished."
For Hoxby, Dean of the Faculty Jeremy R. Knowles was one of the many people who asked her if it was possible to put some of her previous research into more accessible, non-jargon-filled language.
However, the study still remains very numbers-based--a feature which Knowles praises for strengthening the argument that a large investment now will pay dividends later.
"These simple lists are necessarily very arbitrary," wrote Dean of the Faculty Jeremy R. Knowles in an e-mail message. "The position of a given institution is greatly affected by how the particular calculation 'weights' [various criteria]."
According to Knowles, Harvard does not use college ranking systems as a way to evaluate the effectiveness of its policies.
