  • The Stability of US News' Ranking System Robert Daly
    1 Running to Stay in Place: The Stability of U.S. News’ Ranking System Robert Daly, University of California, Riverside Anne Machung, University of California, Office of the President Gina Roque, University of California, Riverside Abstract The ranks of most national universities in the annual U.S. News “America’s Best Colleges” have not changed significantly during the past eight years. This is true even though most national universities have spent considerable resources and energy trying to improve their ranks. In this paper, we document the stability of the national universities’ ranks since 1999, describe how a few private universities have been able to improve their ranks, and discuss whether or not these techniques can be used by other colleges and universities, especially public ones. Introduction: In 1983, U.S. News published its first rankings of colleges and universities, and except for 1984 and 1986 has ranked colleges and universities every subsequent year.1 The 1983 and 1985 rankings were based on academic reputation alone, but in 1987 U.S. News reduced the weight of academic reputation to 25% of its total score, and introduced a series of other measures which it combined into a single quantitative formula. The formula worked. U.S. News rankings have been enormously successful, so much so that they have spawned a whole cottage industry of emulators and competitors – the Washington Monthly rankings, TheCenter rankings from the University of Florida, Maclean’s rankings of Canadian universities, the TimesHigher Education Supplement’s rankings from London, and from the Institute of Higher Education at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China a list of the top 500 universities in the world.

  • PBPL 5: INTRODUCTION to PUBLIC POLICY Winter 2016 Term—Rockefeller 003
    Nelson A. Rockefeller Center for Public Policy and the Social Sciences Dartmouth College PBPL 5: INTRODUCTION TO PUBLIC POLICY Winter 2016 Term—Rockefeller 003 Professor Ronald G. Shaiko 10: MWF 10:00-11:05am 204 Rockefeller Hall X-Hour: Thursday, 12:00-12:50pm Tel: 646-9146 Office Hours: MWF 12:00-2:00pm Email: [email protected] and by appointment Course Philosophy: Public policymaking in the United States is characterized by scholars and politicians in a wide variety of ways. For some, public policy reflects “the authoritative allocation of values;” while others see the policymaking process from a more bottom line perspective—“who gets what, when, and how.” Still others have incorporated the overtly political nature of public policy by referring to the process as “partisan mutual adjustment,” and have acknowledged that public policymaking involves trade-offs and, at times, less than optimal policy outcomes—“satisficing.” Those who make public policy in the United States often wrestle with normative questions of what constitutes the “best” policy outcomes for the most people as they strive to reach the right balance between government intervention and citizens’ rights to “the pursuit of happiness.” James Madison clearly stated in the Federalist Papers that “if men were angels, no government would be necessary.” Unfortunately, citizens of the United States are not angels and, as a result, must be constrained in their self-interested pursuits. Public policy—influenced by economics, psychology, sociology, philosophy, political science, and religion—reflects the aspiration of creating a society in which its citizens behave in a way that reflects the broadly agreed upon societal norms and values, but also the day-to- day rules and regulations established by governments at all levels.

The first white working class roundtable, held in June 2014, brought together 15 leading pro-Democratic strategists and observers to discuss the subject of “progressives and the white working class” and had a very significant effect on the national debate regarding the white working class vote that emerged after the 2014 elections. The roundtable was directly cited by Thomas Edsall in The New York Times, E.J. Dionne in The Washington Post, Noam Scheiber in The New Republic, Kevin Drum in Mother Jones, Jamelle Bouie in Slate and was cited by many other commentaries that used data and quotes drawn from the contributions to the June 2014 roundtable discussion. As a follow-up to this debate, The Democratic Strategist published an in-depth review of the post-2014 discussion in December, 2014. It is available HERE.i The present White working class roundtable is organized around a provocative strategy paper by leading opinion analyst Stan Greenberg that is entitled, “The Fight for Working People Begins with Government Reform.” Stan’s analysis, which also appears in the June issue of the Washington Monthly, is discussed by a distinguished group of progressive thinkers including Ed Kilgore, Ruy Teixeira, John Halpin, John Judis, Mark Schmitt, Joan Walsh, Karen Nussbaum, Richard Kahlenberg, Andrew Levison and others.

  • About Ed Norris
    ED NORRIS About “Way Down in the Hole” Ed Norris’ career arc was dazzling. He spent 20 years as a crime-fighting savant with the New York Police Department, rising from beat cop to deputy commissioner of operations at age 36. As police commissioner of Baltimore, he breathed life into a demoralized force that lowered the city’s infamous homicide count for the first time in a decade. After the 911 attacks, he took over the Maryland State Police and pushed innovative anti-terrorism strategies that made him a national leader in the field. At the University of Virginia, they taught a graduate course about how his leadership techniques transformed one of the most violent cities in the country. He was the golden boy of law enforcement, a brash, larger-than-life figure with a taste for fine restaurants, bespoke clothing and fast motorcycles. Then it all came crashing down. An investigation into a little-known police expense account morphed into what many felt was a politically-motivated hit job by federal prosecutors. Corruption charges were spiced with lurid allegations of pricey dinners with women and gifts purchased at Victoria’s Secret. Ed Norris protested his innocence, but landed in federal prison. Thus began the hellish ordeal that ultimately cost him his livelihood, reputation, health and marriage. This is the incredible story of America’s most promising cop, the dark forces that brought him down and his long, emotional journey back from the abyss. Kevin Cowherd, Co-author Eddie Norris was a cop’s cop and is a man’s man.
