The U.S. News and World Report is famous for their college rankings — did anyone else proudly show their parents the “dorms like dungeons” listing for UO when living in the residence halls? Anyhow, now they’re publishing a list of “underperforming schools,” which means the schools’ reputations are better than U.S. News thinks they should be based on academic indicators. UO is on that list.
According to U.S. News, the academic peer assessment ranking for UO is 70, but the UO really deserves a 115. Fellow alums, should we make T-shirts or something? “I love my underperforming Ducks?”
Help keep truly independent
local news alive!
As the year wraps up, we’re reminded — again — that independent local news doesn’t just magically appear. It exists because this community insists on having a watchdog, a megaphone and occasionally a thorn in someone’s side.
Over the past two years, you helped us regroup and get back to doing what we do best: reporting with heart, backbone, and zero corporate nonsense.
If you want to keep Eugene Weekly free and fearless… this is the moment.
