Insomuch as U.S. News is culpable for this phenomenon, so are students and university officials. It is the student, as a consumer of this commodification and faulty data, who perpetuates the rankings by using them. U.S. News is, after all, a publication.

Moments after the rally had ended, Palin offered her first interview to People magazine [which shares the same parent company, TIME Inc., as Time], which boasts an overwhelmingly female readership. "What I've had to do, though, is in the middle of the night, put down the Blackberries and pick up the breast pump--do a couple of things different and still get it all done," she told the magazine...
