I don’t think Purdue has a medical school. The Indiana University Medical School West Lafayette campus is located on the Purdue campus. But that’s not Purdue research money, that’s IU.
Iowa State concludes its AAU membership
- Thread starter psychlones
- Start date
There are plenty of fine universities who are not AAU members. Is that the end all be all for judging a college or university?
I'm not aware of ISU falling precipitously in any other academic metric.
Furthermore, the AAU isn't technically about a schools "academic profile", it's about its research capacity. One could argue they go hand in hand sometimes I guess.
But until I see ISU taking a nose dive with regards to its research grants, etc., I'm not going to worry about it.
Isn't that the way it's supposed to work - when you can't or won't live up to the standards you bow out on your own rather than being kicked out ala Nebby!?
Who knows? Why would ISU suddenly be kicked out after being a member for like 60 years?
Maybe this isn’t a true medical school as I look closer. https://www.purdue.edu/hhs/hsci/
Point being at least from my uneducated opinion is that Purdue has more of a human medical focus. Ours seems more focused on agriculture. Either way Purdue is a competitive school and Iowa State is a true public school that if you meet minimum standards you are accepted.
As others have said I don’t like this and it hurts our image but I also don’t think the sky is falling as much as some want to act like.
Not having a medical school is strike one. Being an Ag school is strike two. The AAU does not count research in Agriculture as part of an institution's research. It is frankly quite an achievement that ISU was able to hang on to AAU membership for over 60 years.
Read this if you really want to understand the issues. Keep in mind that this is about Nebraska but written from Missouri's perspective so it is probably less biased than if coming out of Lincoln.

Losing AAU status not fatal for Nebraska
MU leaders have repeatedly expressed the importance of membership in the Association of American Universities. But a look at the University of Nebraska's ouster from the AAU shows a different

a lot more money in nebraska.... only show in town.... big10 member gets access to grants... isu is near a deathbed. it sucks but its reality.
U of iowa is the premier university in a state that isn't quite cranking out big brains... sometimes the truth sucks.
I invite @VeloClone or @Cymon to ask faculty who have been at iowa state for 20+ years. ask them if the quality of education/university is improving. i dont think you're gonna like the answer.
It appears to be an undergraduate program in health sciences that has a few grad programs that do not involve becoming a DO or MD. ISU has a few similar health science related undergrad programs. I assume Indiana just has one public university with a medical school, similar to Iowa, although they have several locations for parts of the IU Medical School. The Indiana School of Medicine also has a location on Notre Dame Avenue in South Bend near ND Stadium.
No, the sky isn't falling. You're right. Doesn't mean there weren't a lot of posters on here acting like it was.
Start a new club. Don't allow Big 10 grads. Only hire those who graduated from trash community colleges like Iowa State and Northern Iowa.
Yeah right. That's why the Faculty Senate has summoned Wintersteen to appear at the next meeting to answer questions about losing our AAU status. Breaking news: they're livid.
But that's OK, you say "the sky isn't falling."
Absolutely cuts have hurt ISU. But my point is that ISU's grip on AAU membership was tenuous at best and it was only a matter of time before the strikes ISU started with spelled the death knell of membership. It is tough to compete with one hand tied behind your back and your ankles tied together.
It’s fine, ISUTex knows more about AAU than the faculty does.
It's one of 9 locations for Indiana University School of Medicine. Things have to get fuzzy in terms of how medical research funding gets considered by AAU in that kind of set up. I think for Purdue it's more about the fact that it's an elite engineering school.
You are making a yeoman's effort to get still another thread on this topic exiled to the cave.
