Colleges Question Data Used by "Yahoo!" To Rank the "Most Wired" Campus.
Young, Jeffrey R.
Chronicle of Higher Education, v43 n35 pA29 May 9 1997
College administrators are complaining that "Yahoo! Internet Life" magazine used a flawed surveying process and inaccurate data to select the institutions it named in a recent ranking of "American's 100 Most Wired Colleges." Even some institutions faring well in the ranking have concerns about the survey, citing problems with the questions asked and information sources. (MSE)
