re institutional incentives, I’ve heard that part of US News rankings are based on asking survey respondents to evaluate other universities by reputation. Professors elsewhere (can only, and do) evaluate other professors based on the quality of their research, not teaching.
I’m curious, did you check what the quality of teaching would be like at your university before you went?
If not, why?
If so, why did you pick it anyway?
