Why is Rutgers so despised?

The reason why Rutgers used to lag behind in the rankings was due to an absence of a medical school. Last August, Rutgers took over University of Medicine and Dentistry of NJ (UMDNJ) and its Cancer Institute. This merger would propel Rutgers from top 60 to top25 in terms of total research funding of all universities in US.
