I know this was expected, but is WONDERFUL that it is official! Huge for us.
This board has been talking about this being around the corner for years, looks like we have finally turned that corner and there it is . . .
WHAT!?!?!
Best news in YEARS- even over football (and that takes a LOT for me to say)!!!
After discussing this for YEARS now - and after someone explained a few months ago regarding the YEARS long process, I had given up hope for the near future.
This will help for sports (better conference on the next realignment(??), admissions, grants, money, etc. Very VERY proud day indeed!!!

Wow. I’ve been on this site since 2003 and I feel like every single year there were people saying we were “this close” to achieving R1 status. So much so that I had had long ago stopped believing them and just accepted that it would never actually happen.
What a pleasant surprise. Congrats to T-Joe and everyone else who worked their tails off to make this happen.
This is Amazing News. Finally R1!
What other universities in LA have this designation? Also, is there a higher classification?
