About this listen
Stuart proposes two better college ranking systems. The first one involves getting 1000 people to decide on different weighting values for all of the information that goes into a typical ranking like the US News & World Report ranking (graduation rate, teacher:student ratio, etc.) Once everybody choses their weighting, the average weightings would be computed. Stuart thinks that these averages would reflect what is really most important in choosing a college. The second kind of ranking that Stuart proposes is a quiz bowl between professors. Of course, this is just as tongue-in-cheek as the first proposal since neither one is very feasible! Listen as Stuart and Jed discuss their plans for better rankings.
