What benefit is there in joining the Association of American Universities?
UGA is basically an offshoot of high school and GT could care less about ever teaching anything to anyone ever.. first you have to get that concept down....

You really need to look at how much endowment money comes into the university system of Georgia.
Compare the totals of UGA, GT, GSU, KSU, and GSoU
To that of UA, AU, UAB.... It's really not close, and Arkansas has only one research institution.
It makes a difference , when money has multiple places to go.
Not to mention Emory, Mercer, and UMCG.

AAU is the biggest crock of shite. It's basically pandering for federal govt money. No thanks. I'd like the federal govt to have as little involvement in our university has humanly possible. While other schools are bragging about how much $ they get from Big Brother, UGA has done some ground-breaking work on breast cancer and stem cell research all without the help of funding from those sacks of shite on capital hill.

The gundy gif "thats not true!" would be better.

Whatever. People think it's is some sort of super important entity when it's really just another useless federally-funded organization sticking its nose where it doesn't belong.

As long as you understand that GT was started by a UGA grad and his dropout buddy to supply semiskilled factory workers to their mills, then it think we can proceed on solid ground...

And has so far passed UGA on every front. Now we understand everything we need to know.

You are high. They wanted to start an institution that would put Georgia and the South on the cutting edge of technology in mechanical, industrial, and civil engineering. They succeeded.

In 1881, Hanson became the principal owner of the Macon Telegraph and Messenger, a republican opponent of the democratic Atlanta Constitution. It was reportedly at Hanson's request that Harry Stillwell Edwards composed a March 2, 1882 editorial in the Macon Telegraph that promoted a polytechnic college in the state of Georgia, in order to create a skilled workforce.

Funny how things change. Now UGA grads do our manual labor.

You do realize people used to chew on sticks to brush their teeth? & "create a skilled workforce" was code for "let's find some guys to build robots because these dipsht farmers can't do it."

No robots back then.
Most likely the nerds worked on saw mills and cotton mills and grist mills etc that were made possible by the work of "the dipshit farmers"......

When I think of a Ga Tech's cutting edge technology, I think of that parking garage that collapsed in downtown Atlanta a few years ago.

The very simple answer is that UGA grads do not tend to give as much back to the school as grads of many other schools. Until Adams we were not an effective fundraising university.
As for the AAU, it is a bunch of bullshite like the other posters said, but it is a bunch of USEFUL bullshite full of useful, rich idiots that like to throw their money into meaningless and useless studies. Just look at their current membership if you doubt that last part. We should already be a member, tbh, and would likely be if it weren't for a bunch of petulant children living to the West of us lobbying against us and getting in the way. Just like our efforts to get our engineering school off the ground.
And if Tech was started as a school to create a skilled workforce that could actually apply the skill they were supposedly taught, they failed miserably. Go to Tech if you want to learn theory, not if you want to learn application.

Whatever you need to tell yourself to feel better. The fact is Tech has many accolades, including being the #1 institution of higher learning for ROI. The school has more than a few top 5 and top 10 programs by field. And, as noted here, Tech has an endowment that is double that of UGAg, a university with nearly triple Tech's enrollment. You guys can tout your football program all day long, but don't try to make ANY academic comparisons - it's just sour grapes and makes you look silly.

I did learn a lot of theory, but I'm damn good at application of that theory as well.
