Cooking the Books?

And you thought law students were cutthroat. How can some school administrators manipulate their U.S. News rankings? I spent the last six months investigating that very story for the New York Times. If you're interested in learning how some schools are able to inflate their national standings, you can find the story, The $8.78 Million Maneuver, in this Sunday's Education Life section. Prospective students looking for a more comprehensive look at any one particular law school may find the sidebar helpful, Where to Find the Whole Truth. What do you think of the games? Fair play or unethical?  What's the solution?  Who's at fault?  I welcome your feedback below or by email. As always, thanks for reading.
