What can one say but “d’oh!” It appears the Gainesville Sun got hold of University of Florida’s President J. Bernard Machen’s U.S. News rankings form. According to the University of Florida’s president, the country’s “distinguished” undergraduate programs are Stanford, Cal-Berkeley, Yale, Harvard, MIT, Michigan, Princeton, Columbia . . . and the University of Florida. Six of the country’s 10 “marginal” schools, according to President Machen, happen also to be in Florida.

As a UF grad I see no problem with this.
