UT Moves Up in 2011 US News Rankings

33

While we've gotten a bunch of bad news over UT Athletics the last few days, the academic (say what?) side of our university got some good news today. After sitting at 47th last year, UT moved up to 45th in the surprisingly vaunted 2011 US News Rankings. Perhaps more importantly, UT moved up to 13th in the public university rankings. UT was just a point away from joining a four-way tie for 41st. Here's the 2011 rankings of the other members of the Big 12-2...it's not great. A&M: 63rd Baylor: 79th ISU: 94th MU: 94th KU: 104th OU: 111th OSU: 132nd KSU: 132nd Tech: 159th I've got a lot of thoughts about this, but that is perhaps for another day...
