<p>The lack of publicity in overseas applies to a lot of schools such as Brown, Dartmouth, JHU, Duke, WashU, etc. NU has done enough to stay competitive and get a lot of the best students in the country. To do even more marketing for the purpose of getting more publicity and playing the ranking game aggressively may not sit well with many educators (is it really what schools should be putting so much energy on? how is it related to the mission?). Maybe it is about resources; maybe it is about competing priorities. But the reason could also be philosophical and moral. Maybe it’s a combination of all these. I don’t really know and I am just throwing a pile of thoughts here.</p>
