I don’t think faculty’s research records necessarily has much to do with how good their teaching is, which is partly why I said that research shouldn’t be a big factor when choosing between the two schools. But academics have multi-pronged scales to judge schools’ research output much the same way that there are factors that affect the rankings of colleges - number of articles, number of citations, ranking/prestige of journals, etc. All the stuff that goes into tenure decisions.
