<p>You can’t compare Syracuse to Rochester. Rochester is a major research university ($400,000,000 per year). Syracuse is not ($45,000,000 per year).
Cincinnati has a research level of $350,000,000 per year.</p>
<p>Syracuse still gets good if not great faculty and is doing just fine. Don’t try to make them something they are not…a research university.</p>
<p>RIT is better comparison from a research perspective. They are in the regional ratings category.</p>
