UM Ranked as 5th Most Innovative University by Thomson Reuters Study

I haven't seen this posted, but I apologize if it has been and don't desire to be reptitious.

The Thomson Reuters study ranked the world's top 100 innovative universities empirically, building a methodology that employs 10 different metrics. The criteria focused on academic papers, which indicate basic research performed at a university, and patent filings, which point to an institution's interest in protecting and commercializing its discoveries.

The top universities ranked are:  1. Stanford, 2. M.I.T., 3. Harvard, 4. University of Washington, 5. UM, 6. Northwestern.

That's a very elite group of national universities and our rank befits the efforts of the entire university.:    http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/09/15/idUSL1N11K16Q20150915
