UVA’s School of Law, along with several others, has opted to discontinue providing data to U.S. News starting from the 2023 graduate school ranking cycle due to concerns raised by deans regarding the accuracy and representativeness of the outlet’s categorizations.
U.S. News disclosed that it had surveyed nearly 200 law schools accredited by the American Bar Association and received responses from 144 institutions.
According to U.S. News, “All statistical data utilized to determine the overall rankings encompassed students and faculty across any full-time and part-time J.D. programs.”
On Monday afternoon, U.S. News announced that it is currently assessing inquiries from various graduate schools, including queries related to the consideration of affiliated institutions in the bibliometric data used for the 2024 Best Medical Schools and 2024 Best Engineering Schools rankings, as well as the accrediting body referenced for the 2024 Best Clinical Psychology Programs rankings.
In light of these ongoing evaluations, the publication of the 2024 Best Medical Schools, Best Engineering Schools, and Best Clinical Psychology Program rankings has been postponed until the concerns raised are adequately addressed.
