Stuart proposes two better college ranking systems. The first one involves getting 1000 people to decide on different weighting values for all of the information that goes into a typical ranking like the US News & World Report ranking (graduation rate, teacher:student ratio, etc.) Once everybody choses their weighting, the average weightings would be computed. Stuart thinks that these averages would reflect what is really most important in choosing a college. The second kind of ranking that Stuart proposes is a quiz bowl between professors. Of course, this is just as tongue-in-cheek as the first proposal since neither one is very feasible! Listen as Stuart and Jed discuss their plans for better rankings.
