There's already a thread on it on the Rutgers Issues Board (link) but it always winds up as a topic here too for a day.
We moved up 1 spot to #69 but stayed in a four way tie for #25 public university. I would have thought the medical school merger would have given us more of a bump over the last couple years but it doesn't appear to have had much of an impact. Nor did all of the recent construction or the Honors College.
And we can all know these rankings don't matter, they're a money grab, there are easy ways to manipulate the numbers (see Northeastern) etc. However since US&WR is the most widely cited (while acknowledging that doesn't necessarily make them the "best") let's talk about it for a day.
