Alvin P. Sanoff, a former managing editor of the undergraduate and graduate rankings at U.S. News & World Report, died last week at the age of 65. He helped direct the U.S. News college guides for almost seven years in the 1990s, when the rankings first gained the prominence they hold today. After he left U.S. News, in 1998, he became senior vice president for communications at Maguire Associates, a higher-education consulting firm. In recent years, he was a project manager for Arthur Levine’s Education Schools Project, at Columbia University, and was a frequent contributor to The Chronicle. —Jeffrey Selingo
