A recent article in the Chronicle of Higher Education has received Dan Short’s attention.

The 60 years, dean of Texas Christian University’s Business School has long been concerned by the fact that the MBA rankings by national publications contribute too much weight with American universities.

And here it was in black and white in the Bible advanced learning: deans have set fire when their schools slip in years takes place every two rankings of MBA schools by Business Week and U.S. News & World Report .

For years, is more ed scuttlebutt that the schools their curricula Skew recruits, teaching methods and acceptance standards to impress the two magazines.

A team of researchers from Michigan State University has studied the dean for grading schools arrivals between 1990 and 2002. Nearly one third of deans, including some schools have points in Business Week’s rankings, they were far, just after the lists were published. The turnover of these unfortunate souls was twice higher than the norm.

The correlation was less evident with U.S. News’ annual list, but researchers have found indirect results. Deans left, once their schools were lower values for placing on the market for MBA graduates of employment, example, which is an important factor in the ranking.

Researchers at Michigan State could not really say stop and deans were set on fire, but they contain only deans, whose career stalled, after having left.

“This is a general rule, burning,” said Charles Hadlock, conducted the study and is an authority on Corporate CEO turnover.

For Dr. short, this is exactly the point.

“It is appalling that these investigations take this type of service,” explains the former dean of business at Miami University, Ohio, TCU, a year ago.

“There was a rumor a few years ago, that the dean had a bonus in his contract if the school in the Top 25″, said Dr short. “We have always asked whether deans would be arrested if the list was not as good as some people wanted. It seems to be on faith. “
