In this year's "U.S. News World Report), Columbia University is damaged due to data fraud, and the ranking has fallen from the second place last year to 18th. It caused public opinion to question the country's 40 -year university rating system.

In fact, there are countless American universities that are "rolled" due to fraud, and can be traced back to the 1990s, and there are many century -old universities. Some media criticized that the right to speak of a single institution has been trapped by colleges and universities, and fraud is almost inevitable. Other scholars have pointed out that the rising ranking and rising tuition fees are related.

There is such a story circulating in the United States. When gamblers Bill Jones and liar played cards one day in Illinois, a friend came to him and said to him, "Do you don't know that this game is unfair?" Bill Jones replied that : "I know this is unfair, but this is the only game in the city." For high school students and parents in the United States, the best university ranking in the United States released in the "American News and World Report" magazine is a "only one of the only one game".

The ranking of Best University in the United States is a US university ranking released by the US magazine "U.S. News and World Report". Bob Mols, the chief data strategist who formulated the ranking method, said that US News has strived to be an objective resource for "helping high school students and their families to make the most wise decision to go to college."

Although the ranking mechanism is controversial, it has a nearly monopoly say in the United States. Some people in the industry said that although there are as many as 16 universities' rating standards in the magazine, the most intuitive are nothing more than enrollment, the amount of funding, and bank credit. These can be "artificially controlled" or even "fraud". In 2012, the University of Emeri, a prestigious school, publicly acknowledged the results of the "college entrance examination", the average performance point and other academic performances, and acknowledged that this operation had been continuing for many years.

On the 8th of this month, the University of Columbia issued a statement acknowledging that the relevant data submitted to the "American News and World Report" had exaggerated plots. Among them, the biggest "moisture" was the quality of the school's most focused "small class teaching". In this regard, the school's leadership "deeply apologized" and promised to improve.

The Minister of Education of the United States Migkardona claimed: "That kind of ranking system is a joke. In many cases, our best schools are chasing those rankings that are not meaningful to meaning." Scott Ashik, an expert in high education issues in the United States, also criticized that the judgment of education quality should have been a meticulous work, but the ranking system of various institutions is too "simple and rude".

However, some people have said that although the university ranking system has a lot of flaws, it also contributes to the standardization of the competitiveness of colleges and universities. Although this is destined to be a twists and turns, we can also choose to get up and leave the table to play different games.
