2. By 2025, the NMSU system will excel in promoting social mobility for our diverse student populations, achieve the highest Carnegie research status (R1), and maintain our Carnegie Community Engagement classification. 

3. Axes Definitions
X: Aggregate index includes PhD degrees awarded in one of four categories: humanities, social sciences, STEM fields and other discipline doctorates as well as the research staff, STEM expenditures, and non- STEM expenditures.
Y: Per-capita index considers only three variables: non-faculty research staff, STEM expenditures, and non-STEM research expenditures all divided by the size of the faculty at the given institution.

4. Carnegie 2018 Classification R1 – 130
R1 + R2 < 20% of USNWR Ranked Schools (1400)
