That's great and I'm good with that but let's win on the field before I can actually celebrate that
Shouldn’t they already be doing that?
Isn't that part of the academic mission?
I love the attitude, I love the perspective and I love the mission.
But if it sincerely and truly something new then I think they are way behind the curve.
A little background on why UNL was voted out of the AAU. Largely political.
www.insidehighered.com
By the time the AAU voted Nebraska out, its membership status had been in peril for over a decade, after surviving an earlier membership review in 2000.
But in 2011, members decided that Nebraska no longer belonged in the AAU based on its performance under a ranking system that weighs research expenditures, faculty membership in the National Academy, certain faculty awards and citations. Nebraska officials were unable to persuade voters, despite a plea from then Chancellor Harvey Perlman, who made the case that the AAU’s “ranking metrics distorted UNL’s actual research accomplishments.”
Perlman said at the time that factors going against Nebraska included the system’s organizational structure, “with separate flagship and medical campuses,” as well as its focus on being a comprehensive university and the devaluation of agricultural research—a strength for Nebraska—in the AAU membership. Perlman wrote a public letter arguing that the AAU prioritized “institutions narrowly focused on disciplines qualified for federal research dollars.”
Cast out 12 years ago, Nebraska seeks a return to the AAU
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln was voted out of the selective association of research universities in 2011. Now leaders are striving to make history as the first ex-member welcomed back.

For anyone who devalues agricultural research, they need settle for 1 meal per day at a maximum of 500 calories per day for each member of their entire family. 30 days of that may help them to reevaluate their priorities.A little background on why UNL was voted out of the AAU. Largely political.

It is a shame Ag research is devalued, but I’m not sure how Wisconsin is in and NU is not since Ag research is high on their priorities.
There are 71 AAU members, 16 do not have a medical school.
If the organization of the NU medical school was an issue, fix it! Change the reporting structure to address the certification issues.
Previous members - NU, I-State, Syracuse, Catholic Univ (Washington DC) and Clark Univ (Massachusetts).
R&D research monies by NU is roughly $350M which is middle of the pack for the 71 current members.

The primary source of their ag research grants is the USDA.
The NIH is the oldest research funding federal agency, and by far awards the most research dollars. By a LONG shot.
And.. if you look up UNL on usaspending.gov by their UEI (gov’t-assigned Unique Entity Identifier), NIH is the university’s top sponsor, not USDA. Interesting.
Also of note, the fact that UNMC has a different UEI is why UNL can’t use their awarded research dollars.

You'd think, but I guarantee it wasn't happening as of a few years ago. I know of one who scored a 35 on her ACT at age 13 or 14, graduated two years early from a Nebraska high school as a National Merit Finalist and didn't ever hear from UNL. No hard feelings from her in the least, as she would have politely declined if they had as Nebraska was not on her radar.
I know of another student who scored a 36 and was also a National Merit Finalist. He applied to UNL and was given a whopping $500 scholarship for being a NMF. His folks' couldn't believe it, but he went to UNL anyway, even though it would have been cheaper for him to go out-of-state.

We have to recruit 5* academicians and then figure out a way to keep them in state.
Research shows college-educated workers leaving Nebraska for jobs, pay
New research reporting model will elevate university's competitiveness
UNMC, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Office of the NU President will combine reporting of their federally funded research expenditures.

Path back to the AAU in full swing (as most in state probably already know). GBR
