Washington Monthly names U-M among 14 best universities in country

Ivy League, shmivey league. State schools are where it's at for world-class education. Or so say the scholars at The Washington Monthly.

Excerpt:

"The list is heavy on campuses from the University of California system, but we can't say we blame them. The University of Texas at Austin doesn't make the cut, but Texas A&M does, ranking ahead of both Harvard and Stanford. Compared to the U.S. News & World Report ranking, which the top 20 is entirely private schools, Washington Monthly's is mostly state universities. Brown, Columbia, Cornell and Yale all fail to even crack the top 50."
