Columbia University said that it relied on"outdated and/or incorrect methodologies" in submitting data to U.S. News & World Report for consideration in the publication's 2021 college rankings, according to a statement released by the university Friday.

But anything less than complete accuracy in the data that we report -- regardless of the size or the reason -- is inconsistent with the standards of excellence to which Columbia holds itself," the statement reads."We deeply regret the deficiencies in our prior reporting and are committed to doing better.
