FIU achieves top rank in Carnegie research classification
Quote:The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching announced today the newest edition of the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education. FIU moved into the top category—R1: Doctoral Universities – Highest Research Activity.

Quote:FIU joins the top tier of research universities in the U.S., including four others in the Florida State University System – the University of Florida, Florida State University, University of South Florida and the University of Central Florida.

Quote:From the last Carnegie Classification in 2010 to 2014, FIU has grown in all the key indicator areas, including a 31 percent increase in research expenditures, 56 percent increase in research doctorate production, a 19 percent increase in faculty per-capita research and development production, a 44 percent increase in the proportion of faculty with external research funding, and a 176 percent increase in research personnel supported by external research grants.

04-cheers

RE: FIU achieves top rank in Carnegie research classification
these are not rankings they are classifications and the Carnegie Foundation specifically disavows the use of their classifications as rankings and they make that very clear

http://carnegieclassifications.iu.edu/re...s/faqs.php

Where are the Carnegie rankings?

The Carnegie Foundation does not rank colleges and universities. Our classifications identify meaningful similarities and differences among institutions, but they do not imply quality differences.

Why did the Carnegie Foundation move away from its original single classification system?

A single classification cannot do justice to the complex nature of higher education today. When the Carnegie Classification was created in 1970, there were about 2,800 U.S. colleges and universities. Today there are more than 4,500.

Colleges and universities are complex organizations, and a single classification masks the range of ways they can resemble or differ from one another. As valuable as it has been, the basic framework has blind spots. For example, it says nothing about undergraduate education for institutions that award more than a minimum number of graduate degrees. Yet most of these institutions enroll more undergraduates than graduate or professional students.

Another motivation for these changes has to do with the persistent confusion of classification and ranking. For years, both the Carnegie Foundation and others in the higher education community have been concerned about the extent to which the Carnegie Classification dominates considerations of institutional differences, and especially the extent to which it is misinterpreted as an assessment of quality, thereby establishing aspirational targets. This phenomenon has been most pronounced among doctorate-granting institutions, where it is not uncommon to find explicit strategic ambitions to “move up” the perceived hierarchy. By introducing a new set of classifications we hope to call attention to the range of ways that institutions resemble and differ from one another and also to de-emphasize the improper use of the classification as informal quality touchstone.

This is why no one takes you seriously. You write about 50 slanted paragraphs trying to discredit something that's actually credible. Then, as soon as someone accurately calls you out on your BS, you can't even come up with a decent response. I realize it's probably a school night for you little buddy, but give it a rest already.

I provided direct quotes from the organization that makes the classifications explaining why they are not rankings and why they are not to be used as rankings and the efforts they have taken over the years to not have them used as rankings

only a moron would ignore that or try and still pretend they are rankings

it has nothing to do with "me" it is directly from the organization in charge of the classifications you dunce cap
