Mondo Times editors Boulder, Colorado USA | Posted at 1:13pm on Friday, August 21st, 2009 | The peer assessment survey, worth 25 percent of a university’s ranking in the annual college rankings from U.S. News & World Report, suffers from both ignorance and mendacity, Inside Higher Ed reported on August 19, 2009:
"Long a sore spot for many critics, the peer assessment survey for U.S. News & World Report’s annual college rankings has been subjected to especially tough scrutiny since June, when an official at Clemson revealed that her bosses, as part of a larger strategy to propel the university up the rankings, had regularly given low scores on the "reputational" survey to other universities to make Clemson look better.
To try to gauge the extent to which Clemson was an anomaly or an example, Inside Higher Ed sought the reputational survey forms from the 48 other public institutions in the magazine’s 100 “best national universities” last year.
Our review found little of the sort of outright gaming that was apparent in Clemson’s strategy, and many institutions appeared to engage in honest, if imperfect, attempts to assess the quality of others. But as U.S. News prepares to release the 2010 edition of its survey tomorrow, the analysis also suggests that the reputational survey is subject to problems, such as haphazard responses and apathetic respondents, that add to the lingering questions about its legitimacy."

Mondo Times editors Boulder, Colorado USA | Posted at 3:02pm on Tuesday, July 7th, 2009 | Who controls scholarly journals? Scott Jaschik at Inside Higher Ed posed the question on July 7, 2009:
"As more journals shift from being run by university presses and scholarly societies to corporate entities, the goal is better management, better sales (since packages of journals are frequently sold together) and economies of scale. The fear of some involved in journal publishing is that corporate interests will limit the role of scholars in making key decisions."
