Message: [QUOTE="Eavesdrop, post: 4021604, member: 11175"] I believe somewhere between 12 to 13 percent of Penn State's research expenditures are non-peer reviewed ag dollars. If true, it would probably be fair to back that out when comparing them to non-ag schools. Regardless, I understand that peer reviewed research expenditures (especially NIH and NSF) are of critical concern for schools that wish to remain in or join the AAU. But I will never understand why average people care, especially considering most students end their academic careers at the bachelorette level. My wife worked at Penn State, and my family lived in State College for five truly wonderful years. But there are several schools in Pennsylvania alone that I'd recommend to my kids before Penn State University Park. [/QUOTE]
