W&L is definitely not hurting for money--it's got more than it knows what to do with. They're building a new football stadium when the old one never reached anywhere near half capacity.What hurts it is the peer reputation score, because not as many professors in schools outside the region are familiar with it as other comparably ranked schools, most likely due to small class size-->few graduates. Somehow the lawyer/judge reputation score is always noticeably higher than the peer rep score. This also may have something to do with the school's reputation for emphasizing teaching quality over scholarship, although I get the impression that professors are expected to publish.I don't know--I'm of course hoping for a much-deserved upswing Also, minor shifts in the rankings are pretty insignificant. George Mason & Hastings-type shifts are the exception, not the rule.So dumb, didn't hastings simply forget to turn stuff into USNWR one year and got screwed like 20 spots?

BU has been rising in the ranks. Do you guys think it will maintain its high rank for a long time?

I loved Spaulding's mini-crusade against GM a few months back.
