We’ve been close forever.

If we have been so close for so long, can someone who knows point out exactly what we are missing?

How many do we have and how many do we need?

Interception straight to crickets. What I figured.

This was posted on CSNBBS by a Rice alum for Texas schools. I don't think Louisiana has anything like this. Where would UL fit into this criteria? We have over $100M in research. I think the only place we fall short is the endowment as we are about half way there.

To help other state universities catch up with UT and aTm, the Texas Legislature set up a Tier One fund that other state schools can access once they have met a set of metrics:

$45 million in annual expenditures on restricted research.
$400 million endowment.
High-achieving freshman class.
High-quality faculty.
Membership in the Association of Research Libraries, Phi Beta Kappa or equivalent national organization.

So far, Houston, Texas Tech, and UT-Dallas have made it.

.....wow we are a ways from $400 mill endowment, but there or close in the others....think our endowment is about $175 mill!!!

Let’s see, I’ve answered this question in several other threads regarding academics. We need 10 doctoral degree programs. We need to graduate over 100 doctoral students per year. Of the 100 only a certain percentage can come from each discipline. We fail to meet that criteria.

Oh and you’re still a bean counting hatchet wound.
