Here; an excerpt:
The PGR is a welcome breath of fresh air, and is an invaluable resource for prospective and current students as well as professional philosophers for providing an overview of the field (as objectively as is probably possible). Whenever I mention it to people in other fields, they invariably remark that they wish their field had a similar ranking. Being at CUNY, particularly —we were mentioned in the Chronicle of Higher Ed article— the PGR is of central importance to how I will be perceived when I go on the market for jobs in 3+ years.
And that's why we produce it. Students deserve to be able to make their professional and educational plans with as much information as possible.
