They have Mizzou above Florida which invalidates the entire ranking.
ETA: This is a liberal fantasy ranking.

What if we could design admissions policies that are more meritocratic and increase socioeconomic diversity?

Kind of random, ranking Case Western Reserve University over UCLA and Ohio State over Dartmouth, Brown, UVA, etc.
Would love to see the actual statistical findings.

Ohio State at 33 loses them some cred also.

From their methodology:
I literally couldn’t care less that Auburn didn’t get good marks for its international inclusiveness.
quote:
The proportion of international undergraduate students and the overall proportion of international students are used to capture the internationality of the student body.
The proportion of international faculty is also a relevant indicator of an institution’s global character and the internationality of its teaching environment.

It is because many of the top universities are “woke” with a ton of international students. Sounds right

You have to respect places that aren't ashamed that academic buildings were erected around the football stadium solely for ambience.

These lists that come out every year are absolutely worthless because most of the criteria used to rank. these schools has absolutely nothing to do with what type of education you receive.

Tennessee and Kentucky surprised me on this list. Everybody else seemed about right except for maybe A&M being as low as it was.
