But in the end look at the numbers (research dollars, graduate programs, faculty productivity, degrees awarded). Tulane always loses to LSU.
Only if we throw out all of the truly meaningful numbers. You know, the ones that every single university ranking system in existence uses DUE TO THEIR SIGNIFICANCE. Let me know when LSU is anywhere near as respected as Tulane is academically on a national level or their grads earn anywhere near Tulane on average. I'll probably be waiting an extremely long time...
I love that you actually believe this though. It's pretty amusing

As an institution of overall higher learning LSU is respected more than Tulane because Tulane is small and provincial and doesn't have the desire or ability to offer the wide range of programs that LSU has.
Tulane does zero research on so many subjects (agriculture, geography, forestry are just a few) that LSU has ph.d. programs in. LSU produces more knowledge than Tulane.
Go ask faculty at Harvard or Yale or Chicago and Hopkins and ask them if a university with the level of research and graduate studies like LSU is below Tulane. LSU is a comprehensive research university, Tulane is not. Ask them how important NSF money is? LSU produces knowledge in important subjects like English, Geography, Forestry, Dairy Science, Food Science, and Political Science. Tulane does not. Tulane is small and selective but LSU is world-class university.
More students from more countries come to LSU than Tulane. I'd say the planet has spoken.
