Syracuse和UNL这两所大学为何已不是美国大学协会成员？

美国大学协会(AAU)是由美国和加拿大的主要研究性大学（59个美国大学和2所加拿大大学）组成的一个组织。
    虽然百度百科及大部分网站上关于美国大学协会（AAU）的介绍还没有变化，但是我看到维基百科上【美国大学协会】词条里雪城大学和内布拉斯加林肯大学已经在11年成为了“前成员”，到现在AAU的前成员变成了4个。  传送门：http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%BE%8E%E5%9B%BD%E5%A4%A7%E5%AD%A6%E5%8D%8F%E4%BC%9A
    这两所大学都是11年退出了美国大学协会，不知道是什么原因呢？是主动退出了还是被Kick Out了呢？求omniscient的地里筒子解答！
   

囧，为何屡屡编辑这第一句话总是倔强地不愿意空出那两格！

这两个貌似是主动退出吧。。有个什么天主教的学校是被kick掉的

. 1point 3 acreswiki上对应的英文词条都有解释啊：
"The Catholic University of America (1900–2002)
Departed as a result of "institutional emphases and energies" that differed from the other AAU members.
Clark University (1900–1999)
Departed because of a shift in the AAU's emphasis to large research universities.
University of Nebraska–Lincoln (1909–2011)
Removed from the AAU.[6] Chancellor Harvey Perlman claimed that the lack of an on-campus medical school (the Medical Center is a separate campus of the University of Nebraska system), and the AAU's disregarding of USDA-funded agricultural research in its metrics, hurt the university's performance in the association's internal ranking system. In 2010 Perlman stated that had Nebraska not been part of the AAU, the Big Ten would likely not have invited it to become the athletic conference's 12th member.
Syracuse University (1966-2011)
Because of a dispute over how to count non-Federal grants, Syracuse voluntarily withdrew from the AAU in 2011. The Chronicle of Higher Education reported that after "...it became clear that Syracuse wouldn't meet the association's revised membership criteria, university officials decided that they would leave the organization voluntarily, rather than face a vote like Nebraska's, and notified the leadership of their intentions.""

之前一直纠结这件事情，网上传雪城好像是觉得目标不一致退出了。

UNL是被踢的，相当于勒令退学。不过bigten还是接纳了他们。
Syracuse相当于劝其退学（主动退学）。

这里有个链接：http://chronicle.com/article/Syracuse-U-Facing-a-Forced/127363/

简单的说，Syracuse Univ和AAU对于计算funding的方法存在争议。而这个计算方法涉及到雪城的资格问题。

“For example, the AAU discounts a university's research dollars from private industry or states because they are not generally awarded through a competitive, peer-review process.”

“But Ms. Cantor said Syracuse, like a growing number of other universities, is working on research projects that receive money from a variety of sources outside the federal government. ”

“When it comes to federal research dollars, Syracuse has been on the decline. According to a Chronicle analysis of federal data, from 1999 to 2009, Syracuse had the fifth-largest percentage decrease in federally financed research expenditures of any college that was in the top 200 in federal money in 1999. Syracuse's federal dollars fell to $22.4-million during that period, a 42-percent drop after adjusting for inflation. Syracuse dropped 74 places—to 194th from 120th—on the list of universities reporting the most federally financed research expenditures.”

“Syracuse officials say that the data on federal science-and-engineering research at the university was misreported to the National Science Foundation and they have submitted new numbers.”

不知道这个对于学生是否有影响？

UNL这学校我也觉得挺奇葩的，是美帝为数不多的喜欢跟天朝勾勾搭搭搞CSC的学校之一。。。
综排，实力都还可以，但经常搞些冷门，求大牛科普下。
