This is a great post. A quibble about the changed title: the NRC rankings are largely for university graduate-level departments such as math, not really for colleges.
this post is really good. thx
Are the data that will be used in the rankings losing their analytical validity since they will be from the 2005-2006 academic year?
Why wasn't the NRC able to produce its rankings more quickly, using more up-to-date information?
How many faculty members have switched institutions and departments since the NRC first started collecting data in fall 2006? This is very important because faculty data are a key part of the NRC's analysis.
