DKW 86 7,441 Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Mont Adv. Auburn, UA schools in top 50By Erica Pippins Montgomery Advertiser For the fifth year in a row, two of Alabama's universities are ranked among the top 50 public universities nationwide, according to an annual report released today by U.S. News & World Report. Auburn University moved up four spots to 38th in the 2006 survey, which categorizes colleges by mission and region. It is the university's best ranking since 1999. The University of Alabama's total score, on the other hand, dropped from 43 to 45 and its rank fell from 39th to 50th. UA shares that slot with the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. Both of the universities' presidents say they are pleased with the outcome of the survey. The newsstand book, America's Best Colleges, will be included in the Aug. 23 issue of U.S. News & World Report. It lists rankings for both the nation's public and private universities. "Obviously, the Auburn family was pleased to learn that AU has improved its national standing," interim President Ed Richardson said in a statement. Auburn is ranked as the state's top university in the report. "These improvements are the result of hard work by the faculty, staff and administration and the commitment by the board of trustees to establish and support long-term improvements," he said. UA President Robert E. Witt said competition among the university's peers "is keen but only enhances the academic experience for all students." "As Alabama's flagship university, we are pleased to be ranked in the top 50 for the fifth consecutive year. High school students are taking note of our success," Witt said in a statement, noting that this year's freshman class will include record numbers of National Merit, National Achievement and Hispanic scholars. "We salute Auburn on their success as well." The magazine staff uses seven indicators to determine an institution's academic quality, including academic reputation among its peers, retention of students, faculty resources, student selectivity, financial resources, alumni giving and the graduation rate. For the third straight year, Harvard and Princeton share the top spot in the U.S. News & World Report rankings of America's best colleges. Rounding out the top five are Yale, the University of Pennsylvania, and Duke and Stanford, which tied. The Associated Press contributed to this report. BTW, since 1982, has lead in these numbers every year except 2004 & 2005 due in large part to SACS. Try and post this on Bamamags, TI, BOL, Tidefans, etc. You might get it to stay on Crimson Tusks, but nowhere else. We moved ahead of the best Bama ever did, best we ever did too. Thanks Dr Ed. I may not appreciate every call, who does, but I can say a big thank you for this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingfish 73 Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 http://www.al.com/news/birminghamnews/inde...4700.xml&coll=2 Quote from Bham News article: UA President Robert Witt has turned up the competitive heat between the two schools by saying he wanted UA to "OWN THE STATE" and "BE THE UNIVERSITY OF CHOICE FOR THE BEST AND THE BRIGHTEST." First we had players from the UATers football team [if you can call it that] saying they expect to be number one this year. Next we have their president dreaming about gaining academic supremacy over Auburn. Now how funny is that! Do you suppose pink CA is in their public water system? The hot air pouring out of Tuscaloser has had an adverse impact on our heat index this summer and probably will impact the calling of the NIP by Tim. WAR EAGLE!!!
