Wasn't RIT it was U of R.

I think it actually shows where this chancellor wants us to be.

Some of SU's programs are competitive with the top of that list, the overall university is towards the bottom of it but only

Historically SU is at least on par with Penn State and certainly better than BU even if recent rankings don't show that.   Carnegie Mellon is a bad comparison as that is an engineering school.   I'd like to think Syracuse has the ability to under the right leadership to climb to on par with NYU and U of R.   Northwestern, cornell and Duke will always be better academically...but I really think getting to U of R level is possible, particularly as they have fallen off quite a bit and are now low to mid 30's ranking consistently.  And really the only thing good about NYU undergrad is its location - my sister worked there in the 'front office so to speak' before going to Texas for her phd and was consistently surprised at how bad the students were.

I like that he's aiming high.  Get us back to the low 40's though and I'll be happy.     The cantor years have really taken whatever sheen existed off of my undergrad degree - she's really destroyed brand value for alumni.
