What Differentiates Opportunities for HYPSM graduates vs. Graduates from Next 10-15 schools

Given that research has shown that there is a zero relationship between research and teaching…

This statement:

Well US News global confirms my undergrad rankings

would suggest that there is also a zero relationship between your “undergrad rankings” (as well as the departmental research rankings and the US News rankings) and the actual quality of undergraduate education.

But let us start with two issues: Our overall finding and the greatest misinterpretation of this overall finding. Overall, we have consistently found that there is a zero relationship between teaching and research at the individual academic and at the Department level. The greatest misinterpretation and misrepresentation of this overall finding is that it leads to the conclusion that research and teaching should be separated for funding purposes. This conclusion could meaningfully be made if the correlation was negative, but it is not. Zero means that there can be as many excellent teachers and researchers as there are excellent teachers, excellent researchers, and not-so-excellent teachers or researchers. Zero does not mean that there are NO excellent teachers and researchers.
