One more tidbit that questions the validity of the rankings in
Gourman's report. Note that Purdue's Computer Science Department is
not in the list of CS departments. When the report first came out,
this caused a lot of head scratching amongst us. It turns out that
Purdue's CS Dept. didn't get included in the survey because someone
(on our end) neglected to fill out some sort of questionaire. In other
words, the amount (or lack) of effort a school put into participating
in the study influenced their position in the final rankings!
