哥大教授对大学排名的评论：Worthless

这是对大学排名最好的评论，就是无聊加无用。就是个误导和愚民的工具。

Columbia whistleblower on exposing college rankings: ‘They are worthless’

"I’ve long believed that all university rankings are essentially worthless. They’re based on data that have very little to do with the academic merit of an institution and that the data might not be accurate in the first place"

“It was never my objective to knock Columbia down the rankings. A better outcome would be if the rankings themselves are knocked down and people just stop reading them, stop taking them as seriously as they have.”

• 还每年排。这排名是有害的。鼓励小孩有什么梦校，也是有害的。 -avw- ♀ (0 bytes) () 09/16/2022 postreply 05:36:19

• “鼓励小孩有什么梦校” 不同意。小孩有喜歡學校有什麽錯？ -jenda123- ♀ (0 bytes) () 09/16/2022 postreply 10:07:37
