First of all, that's great to hear. I do want to point out something that is my opinion.

The article says, "Schools were compared based on the volume, income and reputation of their research output, their learning environment, campus diversity and other criteria."

I think too much emphasis is placed on research output when ranking universities. Research output has very little to do with the quality of education you'll receive as an undergraduate student. Research is something done predominantly by graduate students, so it's much more important when ranking the university's graduate programs.

There are great research leaders and there are great teachers. The two qualities are rarely found in the same faculty member.

Just my two cents. But again, that's great news for UTSA.
