World Report (bmorse@usnews.com)
Data Collection for the three U.S. News statistical surveys:
Main, Financial Aid, and Finance surveys began March 19, 2010. Each of your school's
statistical survey contacts should have received an email from a U.S. News Data
Researcher with details on how to access the online surveys. If you are a statistical
survey contact and did not receive the emailed survey notice, please contact Vachelle
Manly, Data Collection Manager, at vmanly@usnews.com.
The 2011 edition of the America's Best Colleges is scheduled to be published in
late August 2010. The new rankings are tentatively set to be published online during August 2010. Just prior to the online launch,
U.S. News will update AIR members on the details of the data and rankings release.
Any school that completes the U.S. News Main or Financial Aid survey will earn a
free pass to the premium online edition of our America's Best Colleges web site.
When an actual date for launch of the 2011 edition of the America's Best Colleges
rankings has been determined, U.S. News will send notifications.
If you have questions about the U.S. News rankings,
ranking methodology, peer assessment surveys, or publications, contact Bob Morse,
Director of Data Research at bmorse@usnews.com. For questions about the statistical surveys (technical
issues, deadline extensions, etc.), please contact the U.S. News researcher assigned
to your school or Vachelle Manly at vmanly@usnews.com.
In advance, U.S. News would like to thank AIR members for participating in the current
Best Colleges data collection. We understand that a significant amount of work is
involved in completing surveys, and we appreciate your efforts to provide us with
the most accurate data available.
