We shouldn’t have ever lost AAU status.

We shouldn’t have ever lost AAU status.

Wasn’t that a big hang up about our going to the Big Ten years ago? I also recall reading schools with medical schools had a significant advantage because of all the medical research. We of course sold ours to NYS.

Finally crawling back out of the crater that Chancy Nancy made of our academic standing, all to make a buck (in the short term).

Cuse back to being the Harvard of CNY.

Suck it, Cornell & Colgate.

This is great news!

Syracuse joins 13 other ACC members in the accolade.

Sorry, Wake Forest.



Kudos, SU!

It should of been us instead of Rutgers

If we can’t spell should’ve - then perhaps not.

Harvard is the Syracuse of Boston.

What seems to be new is the R1 ranking, not the “doctoral” part.

R1 is a big deal. A lot goes into that ranking.

we still need to get that back. i have no idea of what we are doing to elevate our research level. sorry to say would like to see the money we are spending on athletics duplicated to enhance our research capabilities.
we really NEED to "fix" the law school, its ranking is chronically dismal --why ? it seems the medical school is out of the question

A LOT goes into getting the R1 ranking. For example, faculty salaries are just one of many many input modalities.

Big part of the upgrade is the result of high research activity……does that mean SU is finally getting credit for the high level work that is frequently displayed on this board.

If fixing the law school means boosting the USN&WR ranking you can look at their metrics easily enough and see where they can be juiced. Unfortunately some other institutions (especially MBA programs) have been shady about doing that. I think the current dean is doing a fairly good job.
There was talk about 5 years ago about SU starting up a smallish medical school oriented towards veterans. Upstate immediately squawked and the idea has gone silent as far as I know.

Yeah, it's interesting who has this status and who doesn't based on the "academic rep" of the institution. For example, WVU achieved this status years ago when I was in grad school there.

I'm not sure if Nancy was overly idealistic or lacking in common sense, or a combination of the two, but her tenure had lasting negative effects on more than just academic standing.

When did we drop out of R1? Last time I checked in 2018, we were still in R1 list.

the answer --- juice the law school. boost the research, i think ken is good for the undergrad stuff. med school is smkoke

 

[GooseMutt]

Each year they have the university rankings and else are in the 60-70 area from what I remember

Does this change anything

As best I can determine, we first achieved R1 status in 2016, to great fanfare.

We kept that designation in 2018.

My guess is that the lists are made every other year.

I am assuming we dropped back to R2 in 2020. It was kept on the down low.

Until we moved back to R1 in 2022.
