Are we sure that our peers are necessarily against VT joining? I would


agree that like anything else in life politics and personalities affect everything. Is anyone knowledgeable enough here to know that Virginia Tech is pursuing entry into this organization?
VT already had many various types joint research endeavours with many of the institutions listed as being member, both public & priviate. I found this current list of members in PDF format
https://www.aau.edu/sites/default/files/AAU-Files/Who-We-Are/AAU_Member_List-2019.pdf
One small example of a VT affiliation is with John Hopkins & others from the AAU found here
https://hub.jhu.edu/2016/12/21/hopkins-apl-facebook-research-agreement/
and some may or not be aware that some very influential VT staff come from some of these institutions including Pres. Sands UC Berkley, Charlie Phlegar Cornell, Col of Ag & Life Sciences Alan Grant Purdue, and I believe the Dean of Engineering Julia Ross, Purdue & Rice I am sure there are many others.
