Finally

Happy to come home and see this on the wire:

I always felt that the University of Saskatchewan was particularly affected by the insufficient evaluation criteria. Hopefully this will change Maclean's's tune. Then again, the feature story of the latest issue is an expose on the Playboy mansion. Perhaps if Maclean's hired some actual journalists we'd see some changes. Of course, the highly entertaining Paul Wells is exempt from any complaint about Maclean's. His contribution is almost worth the cost of the subscription by itself.

I was surprised and dissapointed to see that Western didn't participate. I'm sure it'll come up in the student news paper, so I'll be interested to see their logic.

I notice that the U of S isn't one of the schools opting out of the survey. Interesting. Maybe with all the higher ranking schools gone, we finally will be #1!

So far this is all Western has said about the issue:
