And it's good that we do that, but we want a better return.

Um, we want, you know, college to be less punishing, less uh economically punishing, and and more of a ROI.

And we want our students to become good citizens.

And that's what we're trying to measure with these rankings.

Uh at Glastros, G-L-A-S-T-R-I-S.

I hope they will.

And follow the Washington Monthly too at Washington

So this is the 20th anniversary.

Thanks for having me on, by the way.

20th anniversary of the Washington Monthly College Guide and Rankings.

This year, we redid our methodology to put an even finer point on what we think college rankings, which we think are important, but...

The dozen of them that are out there, especially U.S.

News, totally miss what's important about college rankings.

Our college rankings are about the value for average students, students from modest means, students who are poor, who are working class.

And they're also for the taxpayers.

The average taxpayer spends about $1,700 a year on higher education because the government spends half a trillion dollars on higher education.

Students and taxpayers want certain things from higher education.

We measure those things, and what are those things?
