Message: [QUOTE="ClifSpliffy, post: 3969958, member: 9260"] this. a thousand times, this. like many other normalcies of olden days, ie pre 2020, the higher education industry has been wrecked, and but for the temporary delay in it's destruction due to the unsustainable gov't largess for the nonce, it ain't coming back. for all but a very few and select members in the industry, the pause should trigger the rational introspection on 'who are we? what do we do well now in a highly competitive market? what should we do in the future to ensure our [I]existence [/I]going forward?' Uconn does not face this very real existential question ('exist'), but it does face some very hard questions. common sense business thinking for most similarily situated [I]state schools[/I] should conclude in 'we're a [I]state [/I]school. if we provide a wide range of quality programs along with a quality, dareisayit, attractive place to be for the young customers in our state, then word will get out across the nation.' the very obvious business mistake of 'the overly conscientious nature of the whole place' is a very bad marketing decision. students get enuf lectures in the classes that they pay for, and for most, that's more than enuf. '[I]The primary [/I][B][I]4,400-acre[/I][/B][I] (17.8 km2) campus is in Storrs, Connecticut, approximately a half hour's drive from [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hartford']Hartford[/URL] and 90 minutes from [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston']Boston[/URL]. It is a [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flagship_university']flagship university[/URL] that is ranked as the best public [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_university']national university[/URL] in [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_England']New England[/URL] and is tied for 23rd in "top public schools" and tied for 63rd best national university in the 2021 [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._News_%26_World_Report']U.S. News & World Report[/URL] rankings. UConn has been ranked by [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_(magazine)']Money Magazine[/URL] and [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princeton_Review']Princeton Review[/URL] top 18th in value. The university is [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnegie_Classification_of_Institutions_of_Higher_Education']classified[/URL] among "R1: Doctoral Universities – Very high research activity". The university has been recognized as a [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Ivy']Public Ivy[/URL], defined as a select group of publicly funded universities considered to provide a quality of education comparable to those of the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivy_League']Ivy League[/URL].' [/I] (wiki) pretty cool.
