ATLANTA —

The president of Emory University admitted on Friday that the school has intentionally misreported data about its students.

The university said discrepancies in data was confirmed after a three-month long investigation into the reporting of admissions-related data to external audiences such as reference sources and college rankings.

“As an institution that challenges itself, in the words of our vision statement, to be ‘ethically engaged,’ Emory has not been well served by representatives of the university in this history of misreporting. I am deeply disappointed,” Emory President James Wagner said.

wonder if it's normal for schools to fudge scores like that to stay on 'top'. maybe they get funding as a result of their students' academic standing.

They do. Funding is based on FTE.
