Totally agree, I appreciate the fact that we're a Tier One school but the honest truth is that while Tier One is a good thing it's not something that other schools in the state (Texas Tech, who became Tier One when we did) have gone around boosting about. Tech has accomplished Tier One status and is moving forward to the next mission of improving their national ranking and that's why they've made no big hoopla over their Tier One status. The fact that UH has and continues to do so makes me fear that the administrations goals were to simply reach Tier One and be done. Sorry to ramble just something that I've observing. The UC is beautiful though!
