NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. News & World Report has unranked Columbia University from its 2022 edition of Best Colleges.

The decision to rescind the school’s No. 2 rating among national universities in the 2022 edition comes about a week after Columbia announced it would not be submitting data for the 2023 edition of Best Colleges. That came after one of its mathematics professors recently raised questions about the accuracy of past submissions.
