How many different ranking systems are there
As many as there are schools that want to be "number 1 ranked"

Still can’t believe that kid from Zachary a couple years back chose to play at LSU vs a Harvard scholarship. That would have set him up for life. He’s since transferred out and played at some small school. Lindsey something... Scott maybe
ETA: Transferred to EMCC and is now at Mizzou.
Plenty of people with a Harvard degree earning a lot less than you think.
Harvard is a leg-up, not a guaranteed money machine.

These lists are bullshite and not very scientific.

Absolutely.
No one wants their cow to be gored, but those institutions are solely creators of debt.
ULM has the state’s only atmospheric science program and the only public pharmacy program. Don’t GAF about the unrankedness.
Then those programs should be moved to another university and then shut ULM down. We have entirely too many universities in this state.

Can we talk about Tulane being more expensive than Harvard, Stanford, and MIT? Ripoff of the century? I read in one of their documents that they consider Carnegie Mellon, Duke, Vanderbilt, and Georgetown as "peer" institutions.

Still Tier 1

Too many small expensive private liberal arts colleges ranked above the UVA’s and UNC’s on this list, in my opinion.

Tulane has always been popular for rich northeasterners with kids that can't make the Ivy League.

Yep. I’ve met a ton of of people up here that went to Tulane. All do really well so I guess it worked for them

Besides the Ivies and the usual non-Ivy suspects (Duke, Vanderbilt, Notre Dame, Northwestern, Chicago, etc.), it’s NESCAC and Claremont system schools. Those are low key some of the very best schools in the country. They challenge the Ivies when it comes to admissions and connected old money.

Louisiana should have these universities:
Louisiana State University (with at least 60% funds going to LSU)
Louisiana Tech University
University of Louisiana - Lafayette
University of New Orleans
All other should be reduced to feeder 2 year schools or shut down. This is the only way LSU stops the slide down the rankings.

Thanks a ton, F. King! O'Keefe's work was basically for naught.

LSU is actually improving in the rankings. For a long time, it was just outranking Arkansas and the Mississippi schools in rankings. Now it’s squarely middle of the pack in the SEC.
Forbes is including liberal arts schools along with the research universities. Us News has private schools but keeps research universities (all Ivies, Duke, Stanford as well as the Big 10, ACC, SEC schools) in one list with the liberal arts schools in their own list (Amherst, Williams, Rhodes, Sewanee, Oberlin).

Look at all of those low ranked Maritime Colleges(284, 303, 309)and Mines schools who have top 60 early career earnings.
