I looked at it briefly. The writer said he cut and pasted the list from a 2017 Forbes article. I clicked on the link to the Forbes article and the writer of that one said that he was reviewing 2014 data. So that list was formulated based on info from 5 years ago.

I read the Forbes methodology a bit - grading favors schools with large endowments or state funding that are not dependent upon tuition dollars for survival. So, I guess we shouldn't be surprised that the list is mostly smaller private schools that don't have huge endowments.

While the info may be dated, I don't think any of us would deny that small private schools (and specifically the ones without huge endowment) are collectively facing an uphill battle these days.
