UW-Madison is on the list, but University of Chicago is not?

It’s a research powerhouse, but so is University of Chicago. And University of Chicago is more prestigious.

I would assume University of Chicago would produce more faculty.

Shouldn’t these ratings be adjusted for number of graduates?

If a university graduates 100 Phds, and 80 get tenure that’s pretty good. If a university graduates 10,000 and 80 get tenure … not so much.
