Hello, everyone!
Harvard and Yale are withdrawing their law schools from the U.S. News & World Report rankings.
Both academic institutions criticized the U.S. News & World Report’s methodology citing it didn’t accurately account for efforts such as recruiting lower-income and working class students, their financial aid services and their support of students to go into the public sector after graduation rather than big law.
John F. Manning, the dean of Harvard Law, said in a statement, “It has become impossible to reconcile our principles and commitments with the methodology and incentives the U.S. News rankings reflect.”
Most of the data used by U.S. News & World Report is submitted from the schools themselves. Additionally, it is only Harvard and Yale’s law schools that are withdrawing, not the institutions in their entirety.
