Currently, the strength of the school is the academic quality of the students. But our culture seems to be stifling their academic and scholastic progression. We shall lament the lack of scholastic progression as a collective, not speaking individualistically. Certainly, individuals fight the trend and work outside the mold but our culture only promotes the "enter to learn about earning, and go forth to earn" mentality.
This is very frustrating because we as a people are not reaching our potential.

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?

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.
