U.S. News Rankings Delayed and Questioned by Elite Law Schools.
Elite law schools and medical schools boycotted the U.S. News & World Report rankings, citing their unreliability and skewed educational priorities. U.S. News conducted a significant revision of its methodology and used public data to fill in the missing information. However, the schools were still upset over some of the data, especially the way U.S. News counted after-graduation employment. U.S. News postponed the official publication of the rankings indefinitely due to complaints from boycotting schools.
