I appreciate your concerns. But The Shanghai rankings are still considered the gold standard. US News and World Report? That is laughable - so much of the rankings are affected by advertising dollars.

Name a ranking program you deem more worthy than the Shanghai one. I would love to look in to.

US News is the one most people look at for undergraduate rankings. It's not a good tool to decide where to attend, but it's what most people are talking about when they discuss college rank.

I still don't think you got into UT Austin.

US News had UNC ranked very high at a point when they were on probation by their accrediting body (SACS).

No, the money is NOT going to the men's sports programs. UT Austin and A & M have the two most profitable athletic programs in the country.

That money most certainly IS NOT going to hire the best professors.

The Texas schools seems to be boosting their "endowment" claims to include hoped for future revenue from athletic programs? That is disingenuous.

What the Eff are you talking about? Those endowment claims are of the public record. UT can not boost those endowment claims. Are you a nutjob?

sigh:

You guys are talking undergrad, right?

Most of you don't realize how easy in is to get a undergrad degree from a US university.

You obviously didn't read the Green New Deal.

And neither did you. It is not a singular deal. And it was not invented by AOC. Green New Deal was coined by Thomas Friedman (Pulitzer Prize winning journalist). The concept was then adopted by Great Britain in 2008, and later by the United Nations.

Green New Deals are used describe any stimulus packages which aim to address both financial crises and environmental issues such as climate change. "There isn’t just one Green New Deal yet. For now, it’s a platform position" (Vouge, November 2018).

Sorry, but your post can not be looked at any other way than as a combination of stupidity and sickness.

You just just plain stupid. The GOP bill ONLY provided for JAIL TIME for doctors in the very limited number of abortions where the fetus had a heartbeat, no matter how faint, weak or unstable.

Have you signed up for the Sally Pledge to adopted as many of those fetuses as possible, AND pay for their care entirely on you won? Of course you have NO intention of ever doing so. It is someone else's problem which you want to meddle in.

Something is not right with you. The comments I posted are from WORLD ACADEMICS about the failure of the Shanghai Ranking, AND from the authors themselves warning people to NOT take the rankings so seriously. In other words, it is not the "gold standard."

okay here is another rankings system - UT is 22 in the nation and 31 IN THE WORLD. Nothing wrong with me. UT Austin a very great university. Second richest (or maybe third) university in the country.

Shanghai Ranking? Hilarious! Good to see others already set you straight there.

Give it up. UT at Austin isn't one of the best 50 colleges in the world. How much money a college, or system of colleges in this case, has, is no indication of how good it is. And, the UT system is considered the third richest. Why not just research something first before spewing?

Maybe you and Matthew McConaughey can get together for a UT at Austin brain-trust meeting.

I would consider taking in a few of those babies that you Liberals want to kill. Yes, sign me up. I don't make top dollar like some here make but 6 figures so I could take maybe 5 or 6 before you exterminate them. Sick. You libs are sick.

Foolish Sally. UT is a system if NINE schools. Dived by NINE before comparing them to other singular schools.

https://thebestschools.org/features/richest-universities-endowments-generosity-research/

An interesting list.

7 of the top 10 on the list have an average salary of full professor of > $200k.

The lowest paying school is UT Austin with an average full professor salary of $116K.

The next lowest paying school is Texas A&M--College Station (one of the 11 Texas A&M schools) with an average full professor salary of $140K.

What is up with that? Two Texas schools with some of the largest endowments in the U.S. cannot draw the top professors. That is just plain sad. The money must be going to men's sports programs.

The cost of living in most of Texas, just like its average intellect, is very low. Salaries don't have to rival that of colleges in higher cost of living areas.

Wow... you morons just spent like 4 pages arguing over whether or not AOC is intelligent?

Her intelligence is irrelevant. Her alma mater is irrelevant. She and the rest of 'The Squad' are unpopular, the "Green New Deal" is a joke, and these ladies will likely be voted out in 2020.

That's all you need to know. Stop wasting time bickering like children over things that have no relevance.

Your university PAYS 1/2 the salary to professor as the TOP university you are trying to compare it against. Your university IS NOT one where a top professor would chose to every teach at.

So, you would take a $116k a year job in Texas over a $240k a year job in an expensive city? Austin is not know for being a low cost of living city, by the way.

Teach or do research? I am not sure you know what goes on at top-notch universities.

You are right. My bad. Thanks for pointing that out.

As someone with a PhD from UCLA, I was paid by research professors to do research related to my doctorate, their personal research interests (grant money), and also to help other PhDs with their thesis work (helping them build experiments because I was better at making things which actually worked, and also helping them set up their collection of data for analysis). That was how I paid for most of my own way through the program.

How about you?

You are not a woman of your word on anything. Maybe something to work on.

I only have an undergraduate degree. But I would take in some of the undesirables at my own expense. The "undesirables" are not my doing.

So, you are doubling down on stupid, are you?

Once again, the wonderfulness of Sally or me (or any other individual that you might want to name) has nothing whatsoever to do with the rightness of the bill in question.

Now, you might think that the bill in question is basically nonsense (this is the CORRECT position to take, by the way). Or you may think that protecting women's rights to abortion is extremely important. Or you may think any number of other things. But your stance on any issue and/or any bill does not give you carte blanche to go into full bore moron mode.

Try defending your positions using logic rather than stupidity.
