Will CS rankings be updated? Any predictions?

Nope, if you read the article it says: 

 

 

 

In addition to the five main professional disciplines ranked annually, we also periodically rank graduate programs in science,social sciences and humanities, health, and many other areas based solely on the ratings of academic experts.

For the 2014 edition, new peer assessment surveys were conducted and new rankings will be published online for social sciences and humanities Ph.D. programs in economics, English, history, political science, psychology, and sociology, as well as for master's programs in library and information studies.

Rankings of graduate health fields (such as nursing and physician assistant studies), Ph.D. programs in science, and master's degree programs in public affairs and fine arts are based on earlier surveys and will be republished. The year that the ranking was first published appears at the top of each list.

Gotcha. Prior to 2010, the rankings had been updated every two years (2006, 2008, 2010), so the new ones are somewhat overdue.

 

Meanwhile, they updated the computer engineering rankings for 2013:

I doubt the rankings change much over time.

Did anybody buy the "Engineering School Compass Access"? Is it worth 30 bucks?
