* The University of Wisconsin-Madison put out a press release Friday noting that, according to statistics compiled by the National Science Foundation, the university is the nationâ??s third-largest research institution as measured by dollars spent.
….Other than Johns Hopkins, UW-Madison is the only institution that has ranked among the top five research universities for each of the past 20 years.
Due to this success, itâ??s at least somewhat surprising UW-Madison Provost Paul DeLuca is proposing a potential restructuring of the universityâ??s research enterprise.
