| Sep 5, 2018 at 19:12 | comment | added | Iñaki Viggers | The premise "rankings actually tell you little about the quality of the education" blurs what the excerpt actually says: that law schools outright "disagree with the methodology or think it is detrimental to their mission". If the matter were at the mild/inconclusive state of "rankings telling little", it simply would not amount to irony. Here, the author's undeniable connotation is that of irony. Also, references of "focus on publications" & "efforts to try to attend" relate to the previous paragraph/idea of the excerpt, whence using them as patches to misread the irony seems lacking. | |
