Columbia University Ceases Participation in U.S. News Undergraduate College Rankings

Columbia University announced they will no longer cooperate with the U.S. News & World Report ranking of undergraduate colleges.
Columbia cited concerns over the influence and accuracy of the rankings in the undergraduate admissions process.
Columbia's decision comes after misstating information in previous rankings submissions and falling in the rankings.
Columbia will continue to publish information about their undergraduate programs but will not provide data to U.S. News.
Columbia joins other schools like Colorado College and Rhode Island School of Design in withdrawing from the U.S. News undergraduate rankings.
