OP,  I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you may be considering getting a PhD in English at URI.  I'd have to say then don't bother.  I'm not at rankings conscious as other folks (perhaps to my detriment, it remains to be seen) but I know from anecdotal evidence that URI can't guarantee funding, which translates quite often, especially in this economy, to won't.

Feel free to PM me if my guess is right and you want more specific advice.
