Wow, that's an impressive survey.

BYU has many excellent students. However, get back to me when Harvard's Economic Chair got her degree at BYU, the Economics Chair at London School of Economics is from BYU and the acting partners at the Wall Street institutions hail from BYU.

Our institution doesn't emphasize publishing enough, doesn't emphasize research enough and doesn't promote itself it enough. There should be a drive to move the school up in the rankings or move out. We need devoted Phd programs in all major disciplines and become a full spectrum university to take advantage of the general hard working students found in the midst.
