    Why? Download pdf
    4/2/19

    The CRA supports the CSRankings report because its evaluative criteria meet the 'GOTO' standard:

    Good data.  Data have been cleaned and curated.

    Open.  Data available, regarding attributes measured, at least for verification.  

    Transparent.  Process and methodologies are entirely transparent.

    Objective.  Based on measurable attributes.
