#5 Research University is a polite eupherysm for "making the faculty rich and ignore the undergrads" The University of California is a research university, there are faculty who have not stepped foot on campus for three years and undergraduates teaching freshman classes. The "research university" gig is a vast welfare system for academia. |

#4 Wikipedia: "Cheek's primary goals upon taking the position as chancellor of UT have been improving the academic experience of students and advancing faculty research and scholarship. His ultimate goal is to help Tennessee become one of the top 25 research universities in the United States. He has already helped guide UT to a top 50 ranking." (I.e., undergraduate students be damned.) |
