Thee Ohio State University News

Another Rhodes Scholar

A 2018 graduate of Ohio State University from suburban Columbus is a U.S. Rhodes scholar.

The Rhodes Trust announced Sunday that Laila Ujayli, of Dublin, Ohio, is among 32 men and women chosen from 880 applicants for studies beginning next fall at Oxford University in England.

Ujayli majored in International Relations and English at Ohio State. She spent much of her childhood in Syria and Saudi Arabia, and has sought deeper understanding of international politics and solutions to resolve international conflicts.

Ujayli is a Herbert Scoville Jr. Peace Fellow at Win Without War in Washington, where she advocates for conflict-stabilization policies prioritizing development and diplomacy.

She plans to pursue master's degrees in Refugee and Forced Migration Studies and World Literatures at Oxford.

US and global employability rankings of universities' graduates. I have to admit that I'm kind of scratching my head at a few of the universities that we're ranked higher than, but I'm not complaining. Seventeenth in the US (3rd among publics sandwiched between Berkeley and UCLA) and 57th globally is pretty damned good.

What about their chant, "That's alright, that's okay, you will work for us one day!" Doesn't seem to apply, anymore.

Dang. I hope I don't get fired in favor of an OSU grad, now.

=35 150-200 128 University of Michigan Michigan Ann Arbor

Should they change their name to "Harvard of Ann Arbor, Xichigan"? Or maybe just quit being "Harvard" of anything?

[BWI]Yeah, well Ohio State is a football factory and people think WE have the culture problem. I don't agree with the results and therefore, the rankings are wrong.[/BWI]

I always thought their chant was, "That's alright. That's okay. We didn't want to go to Chicago anyway!"

As for Michigan, One has to wonder whether their well deserved reputation for being smug jackoffs forever overcompensating for not getting into elite private schools has made them somewhat less desirable to hire than their school's overall reputation would suggest.

Ohio State makes a list of the 100 most innovative universities in the world, coming in at 37th. The methodology is based largely on a combination of publications in science and engineering peer reviewed journals and patents issued. Case is 72nd, and I'm shocked that somehow they overlooked juggalo, fredo(OH) and beavis. And pay no attention to Texas at #9. They're taking the entire system into account, which means that a lot of that ranking is based on MD Anderson Cancer Center along with all the other branches of the system.

Well, since Miami is almost 100% undergrad it wouldn’t be expected to make that kind of list. I’m seriously starting to think a Miami student stole your girlfriend or something.

Not really. Not counting branch campuses, Miam Fredo has around 17,000 undergrads and 2300 grad students (13.5%). This myth that Miam Fredo is some kind of liberal arts college is just that, a myth. In reality, about 2/3 of their undergraduates major in business or education. Ohio State (and probably every Big Ten school other than Purdue) has a far higher percentage of students who actually major in Arts & Sciences. Miam Fredo is simply a moderately selective, medium sized public university with some decidedly mediocre graduate programs whose sole little moment in the sun was a direct result of their stabbing Ohio State in the back.

It's a great place if you're a conservative, preppy white kid from an upper middle class suburb of Chicago who didn't get into UIUC and wants to go somewhere to major in business and join a frat and be surrounded entirely by other conservative, preppy white kids from upper middle class suburbs who didn't get into their Big Ten campus and want to go somewhere to join a frat and major in business.

So it was a conservative, upper middle class, business major, frat bro from the Chicago suburbs that stole your girlfriend. Got it.

Nope, never lost a girlfriend to them(though I had a couple that Fredo was more than welcome to), but I did once have a roommate who dated a recent graduate from there and she was more than enough. At the end of the day, it's a horrible place full of smug, self-satisfied people (at least Michigan actually is Michigan) and as an institution no other university in the world has tried harder to damage Ohio State than Fredo. So that place can pretty much........
