[Editors] Fwd: MIT #1 in world rankings

[David L Chandler]

Actually, according to Wikipedia, they are exactly the same as US News and World Report:

"The QS rankings are published in the United States by US News & World Report as the "World's Best Universities."

It says that QS was formerly partnered with the Times Higher Education rankings, but the two split in 2010.

It's funny, though I find a number of emails and tweets
about this, and very few mention whose ranking it is.
It bothers the journalist in me.

I guess this ranking is from "topuniversities.com/QS World";
I'm not really familair with them (how fly-by-night are they, really?),
but they're certainly not the same as US News & World Report.
