发帖数: 469 | 2 If a school is not on this list, its candidacy for Big Ten expansion
diminishes dramatically. However the Big Ten's continued interest in non-
AAU member Notre Dame shows that this is not an absolute litmus test for
conference officials. | m*******s

发帖数: 469 | 9 I think the more interesting questions are these:
• Why did some states, e.g., Michigan and Wisconsin, develop public
universities of high quality, breadth, and depth when certain other
states with arguably equal or greater resources, e.g., NY, NJ,
Pennsylvania, did not develop comparable public universities?
• Why did some southern states, e.g., Virgina and North Carolina,
develop public universities of high quality, breadth, and depth when
other southern states with arguably equal or greater resources, e.g.,
Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, etc. did not develop comparable public
universities?
• Why did Michigan and Wisconsin advance as they did, but some
neighboring Midwestern states did not (Ohio, Illinois)? Although Ohio
State is clearly rising in the ranks, for many, many years, it was
perceived as mediocre. Although Illinois is highly ranked in many fields
at present (i.e. engineering), historically it was not perceived to have
the same level prestige of Michigan or Wisconsin.
• Why did Indiana, which has breadth and depth across many disciplines,
not achieve a comparable level of prestige as Michigan, Wisconsin, or
even, Illinois? Arguably, it continues to be underrated.
• Arguably, universities such as Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa were
considered more prestigious research universities early in the 20th
century than they are today. They all were relatively early members of
the Association of American Universities (1909). Why did they not
continue on a path of prestige?
• Why some ACC schools, such as Virginia Tech, NC State, Wake Forest,
Boston College, Clemson, etc., clearly having better academic prestiges
than schools like Oregon, Iowa State, Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, etc.,
are not yet AAU members? Is it because that ACC is conceived more like
an inferior southern conference such as SEC?
• Given the fiscal situation in California there is concern that UC will
decline. Texas, which is in a relatively much better fiscal situation,
seems to feel that it should have at least 5 highly ranked research
universities. The last time Texas had money to spare, U Texas bought
faculty, library collections, etc. Clearly, U Texas has strong
departments in many disciplines, yet who really considers U Texas
prestigious outside its region? Will Texas be able to advance its
agenda, or is some necessary ingredient missing? | N*********6
