Interesting, do you think research universities generally have lower teaching quality? I'd always had feeling that research universities were more likely to be better on the teaching side of things, but I've never thought of it the opposite way.
Generally speaking, yes. I think it's extremely difficult to produce great research (which is what brings in money) and make sure that all the students are actually learning the material.
