I missed a deal on slickdeals.net for “premium online access” to US News & World Report’s Best Colleges 2007…but in looking through the forums at slickdeals.net, I found a poster who linked up a couple ranking pages from The Washington Monthly.
The site states:
Welcome to The Washington Monthly College Rankings. Unlike other college guides, such as U.S. News and World Report, this guide asks not what colleges can do for you, but what colleges are doing for the country. It’s a guide for all Americans who are concerned about our institutions of higher learning. Are our colleges making good use of our tax dollars? Are they producing graduates who can keep our nation competitive in a changing world? Are they, in short, doing well by doing good? This is the guide that tells you.
Interesting…
HOWEVER, I am a little leery since the site has a link that is titled, “Report: Is Our Students Learning?” I’m no grammar expert by any means, but shouldn’t the title be, “Reports: Are Our Students Learning?”
Ah, anyway if you want to look up some of your favorite universities or ones that you might be considering, check out this link. Here is a direct link to the rankings, so you can by pass the grammar problem.

Hmmm… I think you’re half right. It’s “Report: Are Our Students Learning?” But I think the “is” is tongue in cheek.

It’s a Bushism. He was giving a speech on education and said “Rarely is the question asked: is our children learning?”
