Columbia Daily Tribune, University of Missouri Law School Again Drops in U.S. News’ List:
The University of Missouri School of Law has dropped to the 107th spot in the annual U.S. News & World Report rankings, but Dean Larry Dessem isn’t taking much stock in the report. “I’m disappointed but not particularly surprised,” he said. “This is magazine marketing masquerading as social science.”
The law school’s ranking is down 14 notches from 93rd place last year. In 2010, MU tumbled from the 65th spot it held in 2009. [In 2008, Missouri ranked 59th]….
The rankings, Dessem said, “are becoming increasingly discredited, and they’re even less relevant if they don’t get good data.”
