Exaggerating your endowment

University of Oklahoma fudged alumni endowment rates for 20 years: magazine

 

 

College students aren’t the only cheaters.

 

For two decades, the University of Oklahoma has been falsifying alumni endowment rates, U.S. News & World Report announced.

 

The magazine, which ranks universities in its highly regarded annual Best Colleges edition, stated the Norman, Okla.-based school offered “inflated data on its alumni giving rates for two decades.”

 

U.S. News & World Report then announced Oklahoma would be unranked in its 2019 edition because of the incorrect data stretching back from 1999, reported CNN.

 

The university originally said its two-year alumni giving rate was 14% but later informed the magazine that the correct number was really 9.7%.

 

“We appreciate the work of U.S. News & World Report and continue to have pride in the top rankings of several of our programs,” said Oklahoma University’s interim president Joseph Harroz. “Rest assured, our university has learned from this occurrence and is working toward the goal of achieving future rankings for 2020 and beyond that reflect OU’s excellence and academic success.”

 

U.S. News & World Report claimed the wrong data affected Oklahoma’s placement in the rankings for best value schools, top public schools and best colleges for veterans.

 

In 2018, the university had been ranked 97th-best in the Best Colleges survey — its debut in the magazine’s listing of the top 100 universities and colleges.

Odd. I figured if any college would exaggerate its endowment it would be the Univ of Texas (Longhorns)!

Why is the University of Oklahoma publishing any information on alumni penis sizes? Something going on in Oklahoma we don't know about?
