USC pulls education school out of annual rankings due to 'history of inaccuracies' in data

LOS ANGELES — The University of Southern California will pull its Rossier School of Education from U.S. News & World Report's next annual ranking of best graduate schools, officials said Wednesday, after discovering "a history of inaccuracies" in data reported by the school going back at least five years.

Charles Zukoski, USC's provost and senior vice president for academic affairs, addressed the decision in a letter sent to the graduate school community, noting that officials "asked U.S. News not to include the Rossier School in its graduate school rankings for 2023 while we seek to understand the situation further."

USC officials have informed the U.S. Department of Education and accreditors of the situation, he wrote.
