Louisiana Tech University downgraded from Carnegie R2 High Level Research to R3 Moderate Level Research.

The only reference on the interwebs I can find about this story is a recent NewsStar report that deals mainly with ULM being upgraded to R3. There are numerous older stories to be found about the significance of Tech reaching R2 status, but zero reports on the downgrade.


Fewer PhD's awarded, cuts in research funding, loss of staff? Hard to believe the complete silence from the Tech administration on what had otherwise been an important component in the university's propaganda blitz.
