UW-Madison is a research powerhouse.


It’s a research powerhouse, but so is University of Chicago. And University of Chicago is more prestigious.

I would assume University of Chicago would produce more faculty.


If I found the right data, wisc graduates about twice as many PhDs per year.


Shouldn’t these ratings be adjusted for number of graduates?

If a university graduates 100 Phds, and 80 get tenure that’s pretty good. If a university graduates 10,000 and 80 get tenure … not so much.
