Note to Archaea: BYU is primarily an undergraduate teaching institution. Your research comparisons are pathetic, since BYU is primarily an undergrad teaching school. Your ramblings about GAs and research is inane. It was his epiphany at MIT that made him decide to pull undergrads into research. Ever since Bateman we've been heading up and up. We're still pumping out more PhD candidates than anyone else. All this "we're too religious" nonsense, bla bla ba, that's the point of a religious university, duh. The raters at US News don't care anyway.

Why doesn't BYU seek out and hire at Nobel Prize winners for some of its departments? Why is our research budget so f..ing limited?

Why don't you donate some of your rent-seeking income so we can have more research dollars?

my BYU education placed me so far behind my peers I am spending the rest of my life catching to them if I had gone elsewhere.

Yeah, it's kinda strange. He is impressed with Bart Ehrman and superstars from disciplines with low average GRE scores.

I love BYU, or what it could be.
It has a good body of intelligent students, whom if guided properly could be motivated to do great things. Instead we often encourage them toward mediocrity so that they can remain in Happy Valley living ordinary lives and failing to bless the lives of our world. Since Bushman, I have been quite discouraged with the direction of BYU. The current law school seems to have lost its direction, as opposed to its leadership under Hawkins and Rex Lee. It just seems they wish to remain a glorified church seminary, promoting us to seek money but almost nothing else. Interesting irony.

BYU, never publish nor research, for fear of coming to a knowledge of the truth. That seems to be our motto.

Not recent, but the first of what I found about Economic Department rankings.
