From the conclusion of that professor's article:

> No one should try to reform or rehabilitate the ranking. It is irredeemable. In Colin Diver’s memorable formulation, “Trying to rank institutions of higher education is a little like trying to rank religions or philosophies. The entire enterprise is flawed, not only in detail but also in conception.”

A lot of HN commenters here trying to "fix" the details of the rankings.
