In 2022, a Rankings Committee led by Beth Moore, senior director of administration and resource planning, was formed to focus on gaining a greater understanding of the specific drivers for each ranking and the ways in which to improve positions across several key rankings, including U.S. News & World Report, The Financial Times (FT), and Poets&Quants, as well as several discipline-specific rankings.
