<p>Is this a good thing ? Or an indicator of low teacher salaries & large classes ? This ranking measures efficiency. I think that you may be confusing this with USNews’ “Financial Resources Rank” category which would not place FSU in the top 100.</p>

<p>This is a very good thing. It means to to concerned officials that the university is wise with resources and nicely accomplishes its mission.</p>

<p>That means its a good place to put additional money.</p>
