PHILADELPHIA — Just as Harvard and Yale law schools announced last month, the University of Pennsylvania’s Carey Law School said Friday it will not submit data to U.S. News and World Report for its rankings.
“The current U.S. News ranking methodology is unnecessarily secretive and contrary to important parts of our mission, including Penn Carey Law’s increasing investment in need-based financial aid and public interest lawyering,” the school said in a statement. “We have directly and frankly shared these concerns with U.S. News and hope they will consider significant and meaningful changes in how data is calculated and published.”
The law school also said “in the interest of greater transparency,” it would make its data public.
