A guy I rode the bus with many years ago was a SCar fan and called Clemson the Cow College and the Udder University. Funny thing was, his dad was a dairy farmer and he he grew up to take over the business.

Hilarious since the ag portion really isn't a significant

REALLY?

What's the state's biggest industry?

Forestry and agribusiness.

Hungry, Naked and Homeless is one H3LL of a way to live.

I believe Clemson has more faculty in The College of Agriculture, Forestry and Life Sciences than any other college.

Us news and reports is a completely bs ranking system that is only designed to sell magazines.

They don't sell magazines anymore. It's on-line. My subscription was replaced years ago with Golf Digest, which I toss in the trash on the way back from the mail box.

Except for the scientific methodology they use


Sep 10, 2018, 1:13 PM [ in reply to Re: TNET: Clemson ranked as top 25 public university for 11th year in a row ]

to rank schools.

It's not a perfect system, but their metric is very good and is clearly the best system going.

He did it. We've slipped since he left.

This meant alot more


Sep 10, 2018, 12:51 PM

before the article came out a few years ago exposing us for gaming the system and artificially inflating our numbers in order to break the top 20. Now I don't put any stock in it.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I'm sorry you believe that Clemson tried to cheat.


Sep 10, 2018, 1:15 PM

There is a lot more to that story that didn't get published. Clemson has legitimately improved its academic standing and reputation over the past 15-20 years. Just look at the average GPA and SAT of incoming freshmen, the application numbers, etc. They are outstanding.

There is a reason why people complain that Clemson is difficult to get into these days, and it isn't because Clemson "gamed the system" in USN&WR.

I remember the Clemson response to that report coming out.


Sep 10, 2018, 1:45 PM

Trolls like the one you responded to were just too giddy about negative Clemson press to worry about the response. But I do recall the lady accusing us of inflating certain numbers and it was determined that we were just aligning them to what everyone else was doing. I remember they said Barker rated Clemson as the best, and between USNWR saying they account for a school’s bias in their calculation AND no one else ever releasing their survey responses, it’s a non-issue. I remember Clemson being accused of cutting off class sizes to be under the cap that they used to measure, and thinking “well, yeah, of course you would do that.”

I understand the hesitation to performing to a measurement like this, but it gave the administration focus and helped position Clemson to be a premier destination nationally for education. Nothing but Kudos for Barker and his administration.
