[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who cares about research dollars? I want teaching. This nitpicking about research funding is pointless.[/quote] Universities care because research factors directly or indirectly in a significant part of USNWR undergraduate national university rankings: Citations and publications (4%) financial resources per student (8%), faculty salaries (6%), student-faculty ratio (3%). It also likely factors in significantly in peer assessment (20%). [b]Most of it has nothing to do with undergraduate education.[/b] [/quote] This is the key point. Research is a red herring in this discussion. Faculty time spent doing research is time not spent teaching undergraduates. Faculty largely rewarded for research output are not rewarded based on their teaching commitment or ability.[/quote] Not a worry at either of these schools. Both are known for full professors teaching classes and mentoring students.[/quote]
