While the second candidate for Vice President for Research didn’t see UK’s top-20 goal as unrealistic, he said it might not be reached as soon as the university would like.
James Tracy, of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, said UK’s research goals for the Top 20 Business Plan’s 2020 deadline are a “steep climb.”
“I don’t know if you’ll get there,” Tracy said. “It might be 2020 or 2030.”
The Top 20 Business Plan isn’t unreasonable, he said, but it will be a challenge to implement.
