Think it was valuable to have things like class sizes, tuition fees, available spots and so on listed like MacLeans did; but to use them for an absolute ranking is disengenuous at best.

Exactly.
It's just ignorant to rate a university as a whole. The difference in quality from program-to-program within a university is huge. Even factors like class size and available spots are much different between programs.
Good on these universities for withdrawing from that ridiculous poll.
