Yup, this is the problem, too dammed many 'elite' colleges attracting too many damned furignerrs, cranking out too many more dammed 'elites'.

U.S. News & World report released a new set of rankings, designating the best global universities and the United States leads the way with some of the best higher education institutions in the world, claiming the top four spots on the list.

Among the universities ranked as the best global universities by U.S. News, it comes as no surprise that several of those schools are right here in Illinois.

In fact, two schools ranked in the top 25. U.S. News ranked the University of Chicago at No. 14, while Northwestern University came in at No. 24.
