With the motto-Let Knowledge Serve the City-it deserves bragging rights, not to mention the Miller Fnd challenge gift of $25 million it received; perhaps the largest single gift to sustainability in American higher education history. I imagine the addition of President Wiewel will propel the university further as a national leader in urban engagement. Portland State has certainly become a leading urban research university.

Comparing Virginia Tech and Virginia, VT leads and has a commitment to being a Top 30 research school in funding... It's really hard to break into that group without a medical school, which VT does not have. However, they are now forming more and more partnerships with others to obtain that piece of the sponsored research pie. Great post and it is indeed an important topic of conversation in academia.
