College responds to Forbes.com rankings
Dartmouth may have been hurt by a “special bias” in the college rankings that Forbes.com released last week, according to Ohio University economics professor Richard Vedder, who devised the research methodology.

Dartmouth, the Ivy League institution with the lowest ranking, placed 127th.
