More problems with USN&WR's "peer assessment" rankings

More concern about the "peer assessment" piece of USNWR, this time related to the grad side. To me, this has always been the least helpful part of the USN&WR reports, especially for smaller schools like ours. What's interesting is that even for the R1 schools, the evidence would seem to indicate that this part of the system is less than ideal.
