Tufts University has been included on Forbes’s ‘New Ivies’ list, which the business publication began compiling last year after it learned employers were down on Ivy League schools. … Tufts is the only New England school on the private “New Ivies” list. No New England school made the public “New Ivies” cut. … As a Tufts grad, I need to start practicing how I’m going to casually mention this to my BC and Northeastern friends etc. Oh, did you see how Tufts was recently named … Something like that.

An HB reader who knows I went to Tufts tipped me off to the list, via this Boston.com article, with the note: “Congratulations. Tufts is in the ‘new Ivy League.’ But sorry, now the Trump administration is going to cut all your federal funding.”
