This is a response thread because TS saw that UF is ahead of Texas in the USNWR rankings.

They have Mizzou above Florida which invalidates the entire ranking. ETA: This is a liberal fantasy ranking. From your link: What if we could design admissions policies that are more meritocratic and increase socioeconomic diversity?
You do know the definition of meritocratic, don’t you?

Does Tufts really impress anyone these days? This isn't 1820
ETA: 1850s, whatever. Literally no one has Tufts as their destination is my point

I guess West Point and the Air Force and Naval Academies are screwed.

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.
So it's just a ranking of schools with the most DEI

Now rank number of Fortune 500 CEO's and starting salaries. The wokester journalists don't know their butt from a hole in the ground.
Op is an idiot for even referencing Time magazine. They push garbage as news.

Everybody else seemed about right except for maybe A&M being as low as it was.
Aggies shut down all the women's issues and transgender studies degree programs. Fired a professor who taught. men can have babies. Probably were dinged for that.

Yup, not like ole College Station which is in no way totally overrun with ingrate foreigners.
Face it, we've all been had. Our ancestors build universities to educate us, and they just sell the seats to foreign governments.

I literally couldn’t care less that Auburn didn’t get good marks for its international inclusiveness.
International environments are cool, but it’s no way to evaluate a school.
These kinds of lists are always stupid because they focus on brands instead of programs.
Most people would not call LSU a top school globally, but if you’re studying audit — it is the #1 program in the world
Same could be said about many other programs and schools.

Niche rankings for top public Universities in America

Along with Private Vandy, these are the 4 true academic Universities in the SEC.

Alabama is hurt in research based rankings like these because unlike most university systems who have their research metrics under one main university Alabama's is divided up between the 3 universities in the system. I suspect LSU's numbers are set up the same way.
The University of Alabama School of Medicine is entirely under the UAB campus (#137 in the rankings) and most of the engineering research is under the the UAH (#434 in the rankings) campus. If UA system was set up to where the main research offices were based at the main campus while maintaining a lot of the medical and engineering research at the UAB and UAH campuses then "The University of Alabama" would be ranked somewhere in the #100 to #120 school on the list.
UAB - #137
UAH - #434
Considering the fact that a lot of the undergraduate medical/engineering students at UA's main campus are tied in with the medical school on the B'ham campus and engineering students tied in with the UAH campus it's semantics. UA's main campus students in those majors are directly tied into the respective medical and engineering research whose research offices happen to be based on the Birmingham and Hunstsville campuses
