Ranking-colleges -- Ranking Colleges for Civic Intelligence, CIRAL Cluster
About Ranking-colleges	English (USA)
In response to our concerns about “smartness” as the über ranking of colleges, our “Social Imagination and Civic Intelligence” program at the Evergreen State College decided to explore alternative ranking approaches based on Civic Intelligence. The exercise proved to be educational for all of us; the challenges of identifying, interpreting, and presenting social data can’t really be appreciated if one only sees somebody else’s final results. And I admit that the utopian notion that colleges might actually compete for high Civic Intelligence scores was an exciting prospect. This cluster is dedicated to expanding the basic concept into a reliable and portable rubric. To see the collection of prior postings to the list, visit the Ranking-colleges Archives.
