    Agreed. Strong work UH.

    Three of those five categories are reasonable measures for research strength. How are endowment/annual giving good indicators of 'research' strength? I know its a very frequently used metric for determining rankings but what in particular does it have to do with research?

    I looked this up. The four (of nine) other metrics seem way more important:
    Total research expenditures
    Federal research expenditures
    Undergrad SAT scores
    Faculty awards

    so, what benefits do we get from becoming a "Tier 1" research school or what does this actually mean.
