So Clemson figured out how to manipulate the ranking system and no other college could figure out the same thing? lol Color me skeptical. All Clemson did is look at the critirea and adjust things at the college to help boost the ranking. The critiera is what it is.
Nope. A number of schools did what they could to skew the rankings.

Schools cheat. No one knows how many colleges and universities fib when they complete their college rankings surveys. But some pretty big players have been caught falsifying or manipulating numbers to bump themselves up in the standings, including Clemson University, Claremont McKenna College, U.S. Naval Academy, Baylor University and Emory University (I wrote about such questionable behavior by Ivy League institutions in a previous post.)

If you read the article you would know that Clemson ranked all of its peers with a below average grade, which counts for a significant % of the rankings. Point is, the rankings hardly reflect the quality of the school.

you haven't explained why was unethical about what Clemson and other schools did.
Clemson was named University of the Year by Time one year for its writing across the curriculum program, which isn't something the US News critiera even looks at.
US News doesn't look at other things as well, like colleges building new facilities and other things.
the lady who made those comments was not professional, she should have kept it in house and if she couldn't get them to stop the 'manupilation, then resign from the job and then talk about it. SHe's getting paid by people she is basically saying are corrupt. Don't see how anybody takes her seriously, you not suppose to make your employer look bad as an employee. That wasn't bright at all on her part and she was fired.
