You still do not get it, do you! On the first point, it was about relying on a metric of research per student when that metric is hopelessly flawed by the medical research. I am sorry I cannot make that clearer to you.
On the second point, it is has nothing to do about “policing” what is discussed, but everything about offering the opinion that the discussion about “public RU being a notch below” the Ivies is a sterile one that will not get anywhere, even if this thread goes on for another decade.
And, fwiw, feel free to ignore my comments … as you suggest I’d do about yours. Fair enough?
