Evidence of low standards. The R1 category was changed to be more “inclusive” and now there are 40 new R1 institutions. No standards anymore, gold stars for everyone!

Anyone who thinks W&M should be in the same research category as JHU or Harvard is an idiot.

Correct, they exactly are what the PPs said: "Research Institution" which is a Carnegie Classification after R1 and R2.

How does the current R1 designation differ from past?
Research 1: Very High Spending and Doctorate Production is reserved for institutions that spend at least $50 million annually for research and award 70 or more research doctorates each year.

You think in 1 year, 40 institutions just miraculously raised their research spending to R1 status…?
