U.S. Reviews Allegations of Anti-Jewish Bias
By Scott Jaschik. The U.S. Education Department's Office for Civil Rights has re-opened a complaint filed seven years ago charging that Rutgers University permitted a hostile environment for Jewish students, The New York Times reported.

The 'U.S. News' Rankings' (Faux?) Embrace of Social Mobility
By Scott Jaschik. For years, critics of the college rankings of U.S. News & World Report have said that they reward prestige and wealth. The institutions that are always on the top of the rankings -- places like Harvard, Princeton and Stanford Universities -- enroll students who are destined to succeed, the critics say. It should be no surprise (and not worthy of praise) that the students then do well. More...
