EspañolU.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT
(Redirected from U.S. News and World Report)
'''U.S.News & World Report''' is a weekly American newsmagazine. Originally '''United States News''', it was renamed when it merged with '''World Report'''.
The editorial staff of ''U.S.News & World Report'' is based in Washington, D.C., but it is owned by ''U.S.News & World Report, L.P''., which is based in the Daily News building in New York City. Founded in 1933 as ''United States News'', it merged with ''World Report'' in 1948. The magazine's founder, David Lawrence (1888–1973), sold it to his employees. In 1984, it was purchased by Mortimer Zuckerman, who is also the owner of the ''New York Daily News''.
Its two primary competitors are ''Time'' and ''Newsweek''.
Officially, there is no space between the "U.S." and "News & World Report"; the publication's title, properly spaced, is "''U.S.News & World Report''". There is, however, a space in the short form "''U.S. News''".[3]

''U.S. News America's Best Colleges'' have been compiled since 1983 by ''U.S.News & World Report'' America's Best Colleges . These rankings are based upon data which ''U.S.News'' collects from each educational institution either from an annual survey sent to each school or from the school's website. They are also based upon opinion surveys of university faculty and administrators who do not belong to the school. The college rankings were not published in 1984, but were published in all years since.

During the 1990s, three educational institutions in the United States were involved in a movement to boycott the ''U.S.News & World Report'' college rankings survey. The first was Reed College which stopped submitting the survey in 1995. The survey was also criticized by Alma College and Stanford University during the late 1990s. St. John's College has also criticized the rankings.[4]
Main articles: Criticism of college and university rankings (2007 United States)
On 19 June, 2007, during the annual meeting of the Annapolis Group, members discussed the letter to college presidents asking them not to participate in the "reputation survey" section of the ''U.S.News & World Report'' survey (this section comprises 25% of the ranking). As a result, "a majority of the approximately 80 presidents at the meeting said that they did not intend to participate in the U.S. News reputational rankings in the future." [5] The statement also said that its members "have agreed to participate in the development of an alternative common format that presents information about their colleges for students and their families to use in the college search process." [6] This database will be web based and developed in conjunction with higher education organizations including the'' National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities'' and the ''Council of Independent Colleges.''
On 22 June 2007, ''U.S.News & World Report'' editor Robert Morse issued a response in which he argued, "in terms of the peer assessment survey, we at ''U.S.News'' firmly believe the survey has significant value because it allows us to measure the "intangibles" of a college that we can't measure through statistical data. Plus, the reputation of a school can help get that all-important first job and plays a key part in which grad school someone will be able to get into. The peer survey is by nature subjective, but the technique of asking industry leaders to rate their competitors is a commonly accepted practice. The results from the peer survey also can act to level the playing field between private and public colleges." [7]In reference to the alternative database discussed by the Annapolis Group, Morse also argued, "It's important to point out that the Annapolis Group's stated goal of presenting college data in a common format has been tried before [...] ''U.S.News'' has been supplying this exact college information for many years already. And it appears that NAICU will be doing it with significantly less comparability and functionality. ''U.S.News'' first collects all these data (using an agreed-upon set of definitions from the Common Data Set). Then we post the data on our website in easily accessible, comparable tables. In other words, the Annapolis Group and the others in the NAICU initiative actually are following the lead of ''U.S.News''." [7]
For the past eighteen years, ''U.S.News'' has compiled a list of America's Best Hospitals [1] after evaluating thousands of hospitals across multiple medical specialties.[9] ''U.S.News & World Report'' evaluates hospitals, excluding military and veterans hospitals, based upon sixteen specialties. To be considered one of the top hospitals, medical centers must score at or near the top (at least two standard deviations above the mean) in a minimum of six specialties.
In the latest 2007 rankings, 5,462 medical centers were evaluated of which only 173 hospitals made it into the rankings, and finally eighteen ranked highly enough within at least six specialties to qualify them for the Honor Roll.[10]
