Good. The rankings are really, really destructive.
Strange response - the article describes how a Columbia professor posted a credible description of manipulation by Columbia. Columbia is withdrawing out of embarrassment, not some kind of heroic stance against US News.

That being said, I agree with you in general

The professor's takedown and HN discussion then: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30603287
