i know for many of you this is a status you relish, so thought you'd be interested to know they are leaving.

https://www.thegazette.com/higher-education/iowa-state-ends-membership-with-prestigious-association-of-american-universities/

Sixty-four years after joining the prestigious Association of American Universities — an invitation-only member group of North America’s most elite comprehensive research universities — Iowa State University on Thursday announced it’s leaving the group.

“The decision to end AAU membership is driven by Iowa State's commitment to its mission, strengths and impact,” according to an ISU Provost Office communication Thursday. “While the university's core values have not changed since joining the association in 1958, the indicators used by AAU to rank its members have begun to favor institutions with medical schools and associated medical research funding.”

     BTW, that means the Big12 will be down to one (1) AAU member - zounami MU - 4/22 00:25:41
     That's because ISU had no choice. They explained that the - zounami MU - 4/21 23:49:06
     I wish MU would leave the AAU - Harvest MU - 4/21 18:28:43
          I don't think we should leave, however - MizzouAstro MU - 4/22 08:49:04

               Our AAU status helps with our research funding, academic - zounami MU - 4/22 07:53:07
          Ridiculous. AAU status is highly coveted in academia... - zounami MU - 4/21 23:51:28

                         I'm talking about research in general, but AAU status - zounami MU - 4/22 07:51:48
               It gave Kiesler and the curators a major woodie in the 90s - Genco98 MU - 4/21 21:09:48
     You care that we care but we don't care. - ColoradoBlueTiger MU - 4/21 17:54:09
     Nobody really cares about the AAU - zoomer 99 - 4/21 17:00:06
          It matters when attracting good professors/researchers and - jlbomega MU - 4/22 08:57:25
          Academics care, but the public doesn't - MizzouAstro MU - 4/22 08:48:50

          It's a status symbol. We probably wouldn't have gotten into - zounami MU - 4/21 23:55:43
               Wow. That is wrong - mutigr92 MU - 4/22 14:17:30
                    No, our AAU status was touted as one of the main reasons - zounami MU - 4/22 18:04:57

                    It absolutely helps our reputation. We would be ranked - zounami MU - 4/22 08:00:21
