College presidents urge colleagues to reject U.S. News rankings

A dozen college presidents have pledged to boycott a key component of the U.S. News & World Report college rankings because they say the popular rankings mislead prospective students and encourage gamesmanship.
The presidents â?? from a range of mostly smaller institutions including Dickinson College in Pennsylvania and Earlham College in Indiana â?? outlined their complaints in a letter dated Saturday to colleagues at other schools.
