There’s something lurking behind Cambridge’s picturesque fall foliage: pollutants. A study released earlier this month by Professor Daniel R. Faber of Northeastern University and Professor Eric J. Krieg of Johnson State College rated Cambridge as the fourth-worst city in Massachusetts in terms of total “environmental hazard points.” “The research shows that...pollution is being concentrated in a few areas, one of which is Cambridge,” Faber said. From 1990 to 2002, Faber and Krieg reported that 198,000 pounds of chemical toxins...

Another gain from more rankings is decreasing the vast incentives for colleges to selectively report, or even misreport, student data. For example, many colleges, such as Northeastern University and Boston University, exclude the verbal SAT scores of their international students—traditionally low—but report their math scores—traditionally high.
