College rankings are dead! Long live college rankings! At a meeting of the country’s leading liberal arts schools this week in Annapolis, Md. , a majority of the 80 or so college presidents in attendance said they would no longer participate in the popular annual rankings conducted by U. S. News and World Report. Instead, the Annapolis Group announced it will help develop an alternative set of data to aid students and their families in the bewildering quest to figure out how one school differs from the next.
College presidents have long been critical of the U. S. News rankings, in part because 25% of a school’s score is based on a survey filled in by roughly half of college presidents and other top administrators, who rate schools based on reputation but often only selectively, leaving most of the list blank and unjudged. The peer survey strikes many in higher education as silly. But they believe the rankings have an additional and more villainous(邪恶的)component. Several college presidents have publicly complained that the rankings’ emphasis on the average SAT scores of incoming freshmen has led colleges to fight over high-achieving students by offering them merit scholarships and thus leaving fewer financial-aid dollars available to low-income students.
NAICU is trying to provide a more complete picture than U. S. News, and the new format doesn’t gloss over unpleasant details. For example, it will list a school’s current tuition alongside the sticker price from each of the previous four years. It will also include the percentage of students who receive financial aid as well as what the average net tuition is for financial aid recipients.
Of course, there’s nothing to keep U. S. News or anyone else from plugging all this new data into a rankings formula. And more than a few college presidents think that isn’t such a bad thing. "Some of my colleagues are ethical purists, and I applaud them," Millsaps College President Dr. Frances Lucas says of the U. S. News rankings’ most strident critics at the Annapolis meeting. " But many of us live in the real world. " And since the U. S. News rankings are likely here to stay, Lucas and other presidents are hoping that if schools provide more data in a more meaningful, transparent manner, the rankings will become more meaningful too.
Most of the list being left______, the U. S. News rankings have been blamed for a long time.
选项
答案
blank and unjudged
解析
根据关键词blamed和left将答案锁定在第二段been critical of和leaving…处,文中说校长、还有其他高官填写。他们的打分是依据学校名誉,可往往这样的打分是有选择性的,这使得学校打分名单上大部分都留着空白,并没有被给予评判。题目中前半句是现在分词短语作原因状语,故这里填blank and unjudged。
