Re: “University Takes 15th Place in Annual U.S. News Rankings,” News, Sept. 11

This article adds yet another inaccuracy to the snowballing misconceptions about Clemson University’s approach to the rankings. The myth tends to change slightly with each retelling, but I think this is the first time a news article has stated that “a spokesperson for Clemson University admitted that her school ‘games’ the rankings.”
