Why top ranked colleges are the only legitimate colleges nowadays..few exceptions

<p>I understand Phantasmagoric. In the case of endowments, the UTs and the UCs lump their totals into all campuses. In that case, it does make a difference. However, when it comes to research spending, the UTs and the UCs separate campuses. The only ones that do not are systems with a dominant flagship that accounts for over 99% of the system’s endowment and research spending. I have attached a link for Michigan. Pages 4 and 9 clearly show how little of the $1.14 billion spent on research last year took place at the Dearborn and Flint campuses.</p>
