UMF rankings boycott sets no trend in Maine

UMF rankings boycott sets no trend in Maine: "UMF rankings boycott sets no trend in Maine
The 'Best Colleges' list is too subjective and turns admissions into a status contest, UMF says.

The University of Maine at Farmington has decided to boycott
the U.S. News & World Report rankings of higher-education
institutions, but officials at other Maine colleges that usually
make the popular list say they're not ready to bail out of it.

UMF President Theodora Kalikow announced last week her
university no longer will fill out the U.S. News survey, which asks
college presidents to rank their peers."
