We have been meaning to send a hearty congrats to the good folks over at Inside Higher Ed for their first place award for beat reporting for their series on college rankings.  We here at FACE Talk have to admit to a little pride ourselves since one part of that series was related to our work on how U.S. News and World Report was allowing colleges and universities to report on the percentage of classes taught by full-time faculty.  Always glad when these issues get elevated like this.
