Courtesy of Washington Monthly with a very special thanks to a fellow<br>subscriber and faithful Vandal supporter who reminds us . . .<br><br>"Random bit of Vandal bravado - Washington Monthly recently did a great<br>big article on college rankings. UI was in the top 100 (68th) of<br>national universities. Beating WSU at 160. BSU was relegated to the<br>"masters college" category because they don't offer PhDs and ranked 399. <br>Poor ISU was ranked as a "drop out factory" with only a 26% graduation<br>rate."<br><br>The Washington Monthly header reads . . .<br><br>"Below are the Washington Monthly's 2010 national universities rankings.<br>We rate schools based on their contribution to the public good in three<br>broad categories: Social Mobility (recruiting and graduating low-income<br>students), Research (producing cutting-edge scholarship and PhDs), and<br>Service (encouraging students to give something back to their
