Yale’s and Harvard’s law schools are letting go of the controversial US News & World Report ranking, despite holding top positions for decades. A Yale official called the ranking method “profoundly flawed.”
In a blog post, Yale Law School Dean Heather K Gerken said, the basis of ranking keeps schools from admitting students from the lower income groups and working class.
Many have long criticized the US News ranking methodology arguing their approach reinforces inequality of income.
