우선 이 표가 절대적이라는 말은 아님을 미리 말해둠니다.
AAU 라는 단체가 있는데 이 단체 설립 멤버와 새로운 멤버들의 가입연도를 보니 명문들의 흐름이 대충 보입니다.
굵게 표시되어 있는 설립멤버와 가입멤버들을 보면 이 단체의 면면을 알수 있을겁니다.
밑에 영문을 읽어 보시면 알겠지만 가입하기가 까다롭고 초대받지 못하면 가입하고 싶어도 가입이 않되는군요.
다시 말해 두지만 미국명문대학의 흐름을 보자는 것이니 서로 다른 대학 비난은 삼가 합니다. 그리고, 이 단체에 가입이 되어 있지 않았다고 명문이 아니라는 말은 아닙니다.
The Association of American Universities (AAU) is an organization of leading research universities devoted to maintaining a strong system of academic research and education. It consists of 59 universities in the United States (both public(34) and private(25)) and two universities in Canada(2)
AAU membership is by invitation only, which requires an affirmative vote of three-fourths of current members. Invitations are considered periodically, based in part on an assessment of the breadth and quality of university programs of research and graduate education, as well as undergraduate education. The association ranks its members using four criteria: Research spending, the percentage of faculty who are members of the National Academies, faculty awards, and citations. Two thirds of members can vote to revoke membership for poor rankings
