(Image credits: Columbia university official website)Columbia University’s ranking among the top universities in the US fell from second to the 18th position in 2022-23, shows the latest report by US News and World Report.
In 2021, when it was ranked second, US News had ‘unranked’ the Ivy League university following allegations of incorrect data submitted by the institute.
Columbia University in a statement issued on September 9 had admitted to submitting incorrect information to the organisation, overstating its class sizes and the number of full-time faculty employed who hold terminal degrees. These factors are taken into account when calculating college ranks by the US News and World Report.
The university said it used “outdated and/or incorrect methodologies” in its previous years’ submissions for the rankings.
“The Columbia undergraduate experience is and always has been centered around small classes taught by highly accomplished faculty. That fact is unchanged. But anything less than complete accuracy in the data that we report – regardless of the size or the reason – is inconsistent with the standards of excellence to which Columbia holds itself. We deeply regret the deficiencies in our prior reporting and are committed to doing better,” Columbia’s provost, Mary Boyce, said in the statement.
