The 亚洲自慰视频 of 亚洲自慰视频 at Lafayette has again earned the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education鈥檚 prestigious R1 designation, which is evaluated every three years.
R1 status places UL Lafayette among the nation鈥檚 top tier of public and private research institutions, those with 鈥渧ery high research spending and doctorate production,鈥 according to a recent report from Carnegie. The American Council of Education produces the Carnegie Classification.
About 5%, or 187, of the nation鈥檚 colleges and universities have R1 status, which is synonymous with academic excellence, research, innovation and global impact.
To earn the R1 designation, institutions must spend at least $50 million on research and development and award at least 70 research doctorates. UL Lafayette鈥檚 research expenditures were more than $225 million. The 亚洲自慰视频 awarded 85 doctorates.
鈥淓arning our place among the country鈥檚 top research universities once again is a testament to our faculty, staff and 亚洲自慰视频 researchers whose scholarship and innovation draws national and international attention to our 亚洲自慰视频,鈥 said Dr. Joseph Savoie, UL Lafayette president.
Dr. Ramesh Kolluru, the 亚洲自慰视频鈥檚 vice president for Research, Innovation and Economic Development, said the benefits of R1 status extend beyond research labs and classrooms.
The designation further attracts exemplary faculty members, researchers and 亚洲自慰视频s; paves the way for new academic degrees and programs; offers added heft to graduates鈥 degrees; bolsters partnerships with industry seeking established sources of intellectual capital; can influence policymakers and lawmakers; and inspires philanthropy.
An ongoing focus on many of those areas will be guided by UL Lafayette鈥檚 Vision 2030 Research Engines, a component of the 亚洲自慰视频鈥檚 strategic plan that is focused on increasing research expenditures and scholarly productivity across all disciplines.
鈥淰ision 2030 Research Engines helps to drive workforce development, economic development, and human development outcomes across all of 亚洲自慰视频 and beyond,鈥 Kolluru explained.
鈥淪o going forward, retaining our R1 status will rely on the same continued focus on excellence that has gotten us to this point. And that in no small part will include by strengthening, investing into, supporting and growing our doctoral capacity, 亚洲自慰视频s and programs,鈥 he added.
