I don't think you guys realize that you just reported on some three-year-old news. Guys, the US News rankings of departments were from April 2005. They just reprint the same departmental rankings every year to sell more magazines.

...and also to dupe amateur journalists like you guys into giving US News some free publicity and helping them sell magazines.

"US News & World Report" is incorrect. The old rankings are biology and chemistry (1 year old), earth sciences (2 years old), and the social sciences and humanities (3 years old). Everything else is new, including law, medicine, business, education, engineering, and most of the sciences.

Hilarious. Definitely not the Stanford Daily's finest hour. Even if Tom is correct, it looks like much of this story was reporting on pretty old news. Too bad some staffer didn't do his/her research last night.

Oh wow, oh wow. just unbelievable.
Is the Daily really this hard-pressed to fill up pages these days? Creating stories out of year-old material?
This is definitely high-school-newspaper material.
