New Criteria for a Higher Education

We always like to see people thinking outside the box, which is why this article from the Washington Monthly magazine is so entertaining. Harvard and Princeton have tied for the #1 spot for the last three years in US News & World Reports annual college rankings. This isn't surprising to a lot of people. But change the criteria and you get a whole new set of rankings. The editors at the Washington Monthly set out to do just that when they ask not "what colleges can do for its students, but what colleges are doing for the country." Have a look.
