Louisiana's Push for Tier One status

[LaCajunsFan]

We’ve been saying that we are close to Doc I status since at least 2005. So you tell me how close we are. We’ve said the same things over and over. We are always soooo close.

No. You cannot weasel out of this: I never made any such claim, because I know very little of what our status is, despite really wanting to know and having looked high and low for any clues.

You, on the other hand, made a very definite claim. So show us your evidence to back it up.

......I guess this relates to an advance to a higher tier, but does anybody know if our geauxrillas had anything to do with the covid research vax??? Did we get any bucks or recognition? Well were they even used as some rumors might speculate?

We need a Boomer translator.

Yeah. His last one has me pretty speechless.

Yes, yes and yes.

How close is UL to achieving Doctoral I status?

We’re still in the silent phase.

[LaCajunsFan]

If we achieve Tier I before 2023 year I’ll donate $1000 to the school of business.

We do not produce enough Doctoral Graduates in enough fields in order to gain R1 Carnegie status.

Still no facts, so just your opinion. You might be correct, and then again you might not be.

I will say this, our odds are probably the best they could be, with Dr. S working on it. If anyone can get us there he will.

We’re still in the silent phase.

We won't get many facts during that phase.

[JMV JustMyView]

We won't get many facts during that phase.

That is spot on.

He has been UL President since 2008 and we have been close since then. The fact is you have zero clue as to what the criteria is. So you are asking on a sports message board. So you aren’t really asking for an actual answer. If you were you would have just looked it up yourself.

Louisiana84 is correct. We are in the silent phase. Also the last administrator I spoke with about this stated exactly what I posted earlier. We do not graduate enough doctoral graduates in enough doctoral disciplines to qualify. It wasn’t until 2 or 3 years ago that we offered enough doctoral programs to achieve R1 status.
