They have done a great job in moving the university from tier 3 to tier 1 (there is no tier 2), but we are barely tier 1. I'd like to see us get solidly into the top 100. -- Duquesne Dukes Basketball Forum

In reply to: Coffee 's message, "I respect many of you opinions expressed, but US News and World Report ranks Duquesne as a Tier 1 National University. Yes, the administration is pushing the overall university, but we need to be the first to know that their efforts are actually paying off." on Sunday, July 18, 07:38:08pm

I agree duq81 and I think the core is there to do it. I don't want to disrespect the tier 1-tier 3 accomodation but I am fairly certain that schools that don't use SAT as a criteria for admission are excluded from the rankings and apparently their ranks are growing annually. Many of the Patriot League schools were not included for that reason I think. (NT) -- TMH, Sunday, July 18, 10:50:45pm
