Message: [QUOTE="hardcorehusky, post: 2579623, member: 593"] AAU is a closed shop. You have to be invited and it while you have to have north of $500m in endowment for reasearch- that still doesn't open the door. It is a goal of the university but the state budget cuts has taken the wind out of those sails because we don't have the money to attract the professors who bring research grants with them. AAU acceptance is a 20 year road with everything going right AND the association looking to add. Herbst is in year 7 so you can't really hold her accountable to the end product. She set us off on that path- but had literally 30 years of ineptitude to catch up on regarding AAU status. [/QUOTE]
