What Is Causing The 3+ Week Delay In The U.S. News Law School Rankings?

Following up on my previous posts:

Will U.S. News Refuse To Count Votes From Deans, Faculty, Lawyers, And Judges From Boycotting Law Schools In Reputation Metric In 2024 Rankings? (Apr. 12, 2023)
U.S. News Delays Release Of Law School Rankings Again Due To 'Unprecedented Number Of Inquiries,' Including From Schools That Are Ostensibly Boycotting The Rankings (Apr. 19, 2023)

Mike Spivey has an interesting theory of the reason for the delay in the law school rankings:

Another *possible* USNWR law/med rankings delay theory: peer assessment voting was somehow messed up when excluding non participating schools. Might explain why med & law were the two delayed, since both have assessment scores that *should* be excluded for the non participants.

For other possible reasons for the delay, see here.
