If this doesn't spell hypocrisy, we don't know what does:

First, read this, by the Alcalde:

“One of the bedrocks of business school rankings is the yearly Forbes Magazine list of top MBA programs. The ranking has been a favorite among UT students and alums as McCombs School of Business always shows well—no. 17 in the nation in 2011 results released today.”

Then, read this, by the Excellence Coalition’s spokesperson Jenifer Sarver:

“Mr. Vedder continues to do Texas, our universities, and the citizens of our state a disservice by completely disregarding the positive and proactive efforts our universities are continually undertaking in their drive to deliver excellence and quality in higher education.”

And lastly, read this, by Forbes:

“The entire school rankings project, exclusive to FORBES, rests on the cornerstone laid down by Richard Vedder and his team at the Center for College Affordability and Productivity. Four intrepid interns – Madeleine Andrews, Maxwell Coffey, Adam Nagy and Anna Perocchi — gathered all the academic, tuition, financial aid and admissions data for the 650 schools.”
