Title says it all. Well, except the fact that Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz was apparently fired over the phone. Harsh. This is the note Bartz just sent out to Yahoo employees:
To all,
I am very sad to tell you that I’ve just been fired over the phone by Yahoo’s Chairman of the Board. It has been my pleasure to work with all of you and I wish you only the best going forward.
Carol

We noted in June that Yahoo was quietly looking for a replacement for Bartz — something which Yahoo (obviously) denied, and other press ate right up. Yahoo even talked about our post at their shareholders meeting and essentially called it “bullshit”. Funny.
The moral of the story: how do you know a company is lying about something potentially damaging, even (and perhaps especially) in an official capacity? If their mouths are moving.
Crazy day. Here’s our favorite Bartz moment.

Another sixteen American universities rank in the top 100 in the world: UCLA (34); Brown (39); Wisconsin (41); Carnegie Mellon (43); NYU (44); North Carolina (55); Washington (56); Illinois (61); Boston University (70); Texas (76); UC San Diego (77); Washington University St. Louis (78); Georgia Tech (84); Purdue (85); Penn State (94); and Dartmouth (99). A total of 400 universities are ranked.
The rankings do not include elite liberal arts colleges because research citations account for 20 percent of the world rankings. However, the rankings do count faculty/student ratio as 20 percent of the total, so they do consider that important factor. Academic reputation is the largest factor at 40 percent, and 10 percent of the total is based on employers’ assessments of graduates.
The rankings may be especially useful if a prospective student is considering a field that involves international assignments or study abroad. The QS survey data also have tabs to see separate rankings by rating criteria (e.g., employer assessments), or by academic field (arts and humanities, engineering and technology, life sciences and medicine, natural sciences, and social sciences.
The leading U.S. universities in world employer assessments are Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Yale, UCLA, Chicago, Cornell, Michigan, Penn, Northwestern, Princeton, Purdue, Penn State, Duke, NYU, Texas, Boston University, Carnegie Mellon, Dartmouth, Georgetown, Georgia Tech, Virginia, Brown, Johns Hopkins, and North Carolina.
The U.S. universities with the highest worldwide academic reputation are Harvard, UC Berkeley, Stanford, MIT, UCLA, Princeton, Yale, Columbia, Chicago, Cornell, Michigan, Caltech, Penn, UC San Diego, Illinois, Texas, NYU, Wisconsin, Johns Hopkins, Duke, Washington, Northwestern, Carnegie Mellon, Brown, and North Carolina.
Finally, the top fifteen U.S. universities in the fields of engineering and technology are MIT, Stanford, UC Berkeley, Caltech, Illinois, Georgia Tech, Carnegie Mellon, UCLA, Harvard, Michigan, Princeton, Texas, Cornell, Purdue, and UC San Diego.
