- Abstract:
The author argues that university statuses in rankings have been stable over time, comparing a 1911 ranking cited by sociologist Kieran Healy to 2010s rankings by the periodical "U.S. News & World Report." Topics include the nature of public research universities, a comparison of inter-university competition to competition among sports teams, and the statistical role of mean reversion in maintaining stable rankings over time.
