Emory, Three Other Schools Dropped From Forbes Rankings for 2 Years | WABE 90.1 FM

On Wednesday, July 24, 2013, the business publication Forbes removed Emory University and three other schools from its annual Best Colleges rankings, for the next two years. WABE’s Denis O’Hayer reports.

Forbes said for more than a decade, Emory had provided test data based on all students it admitted, rather than on those who actually enrolled…and that artificially boosted Emory’s ranking.

Last August, Emory admitted it had misrepresented some of the data it sent to ranking publications.

Forbes executive editor Michael Noer (NOR) said Emory has taken steps to prevent future misrepresentations…but he said Forbes had to do something about a decade of bad numbers.
