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. In another case, Monmouth University in West Long Branch, N.J., once overstated its SAT scores by more than 200 points. In 1993, even Harvard was found to have overstated its SAT scores by 15 points. Furthermore, a large component of the U.S. News rankings?...
...turned it off.Last spring, there was much fuss made about a survey by the Consortium on Financing Higher Education (COFHE) that ranked Harvard fifth-from-last among 31 elite schools in terms of student satisfaction. Graduating seniors gave fair Harvard poor reviews for, among other things, the quality of students?? social life.

Earlier, the architect had marveled at Harvard students?? surprising conservatism; he was especially intrigued, he said, by final clubs and other exclusive social venues. The Advocate, the Crimson, the Lampoon, the final clubs, the administrator listed in response; these are the spaces to which the Harvard College Pub will provide an “inclusive?...
...years is too long to wait.Harvard is the only Ivy League school that doesn’t have a student center. Princeton’s Frist Center has become the poster-child case for what might be. “It’s sort of like students?? home base on-campus,” wrote Princeton Undergraduate Student Government President Leslie B. Joseph in an e-mail. The Frist holds classrooms, dining areas, meeting space, a theater, and a “multipurpose room” for such uses as important conferences and “Princetonian...
