The Gourman Report (ISBN 9780679783749) is Dr. Jack Gourman's ranking of undergraduate, professional, and graduate programs programs in American and International Universities. It has been criticized for not disclosing criteria or ranking methods, as well as for reporting statistically impossible data, such as no ties among schools, school rankings in each subcategory (administration, faculty, library, alumni, etc.) which are identical to the overall rankings, narrow gaps in scores with no variation in gap widths, and ranks of nonexistent departments. The Princeton Review, a for-profit publisher of achievement tests and college guidebooks, publishes the Gourman Report. The most recent edition dates to 1997.
Famous quotes containing the word report:
“There was ... a large, shaggy dog, whose nose, report said, was full of porcupine quills. I can testify that he looked very sober. This is the usual fortune of pioneer dogs, for they have to face the brunt of the battle for their race.... When a generation or two have used up all their enemies’ darts, their successors lead a comparatively easy life. We owe to our fathers analogous blessings.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
