<p>The total enrollment of non-professional grad schools greatly excceds the professional schools (law, med, business).NU Law and Med faculty have NOTHING to do with undergrads while business only has a partial major. Virtually all UW grad school faculty teach both grad and undergrad classes excluding law and med.<br>
No research does not have a direct impact on undergrads but winning competitve research grants is an indicator of excellence as is the ranking of grad depts outside the pro schools.
A few years ago NU’s president ripped the NU faculty for not being better ranked in research funding. He basically called them lazy.</p>
