Rank Colleges by Civics Outcomes

Score colleges not just on prestige or research money but on measurable present‑day outcomes: classroom rigor, civic literacy, exposure to foundational texts, campus governance transparency, and career readiness. Such a ranking would make civics education and institutional accountability visible to applicants and could shift enrollment incentives away from brand signaling. — If adopted, a civics‑and‑outcomes ranking would reorient public debate and policy toward what universities actually teach and how they prepare citizens, affecting admissions, accountability, and funding choices.
