Doesn’t the Patriot have some sort of academic index that schools have to meet?

Picked up from wikipedia:

Quote:It is categorized among "R2: Doctoral Universities – High research activity"

U.S. News & World Report ranked Howard tied for 104th among national universities, and second among historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) for 2020.[6] Howard is the only HBCU ranked in the top 40 on the Bloomberg Businessweek business school rankings.[7] The Princeton Review ranked the business school first in opportunities for minority students and in the top five for most competitive students.[8] The National Law Journal ranked the law school among the top 25 in the nation for placing graduates at the most successful law firms.[9]
