Who implied it was a community college?

To quote a famed coach (I think it was Bill Parcells), you are what you are.

Is it a school with a ton of commuters, yes. So in fact was NU up until the last 10 years.

Is it a state school funded by a state educational system that's in trouble? Yes, but so is UMass, and I can't imagine UVM, UNH, Maine or the SUNY's are in much better shape.

Does it meet the criteria that the AE wants in a member institution? Today, probably not. Five years from now, who knows, but I doubt it.

In fact, I'd argue that if Hartford were being considered for membership at any other time in the league's history except for the time it was admitted, it might have a difficult time getting in. Not as hard a time as CCSU or Quinnipiac, but I know that the research levels at Hartford are probably at the bottom of the AE rung. Not a knock on Hartford, at all, just the facts.
