The new(ish) system is divided by institution type. For FBS institutions, excluding the service academies, it goes:

Masters institution/ small - M/S
Masters institution/ medium - M/M
Masters institution/ large - M/L
------------------
Doctoral/Research University - DRU
Research University/ high research activity - R/H
Research University/ very high research activity - R/VH


For CUSA:

Charlotte - DRU
FAU - RU/H
FIU - RU/H
LaTech - RU/H
Marshall - M/L
MTSU - DRU
North Texas - RU/H
ODU - RU/H
Rice - RU/VH
Southern Miss - RU/H
UAB - RU/VH
UTEP - RU/H
UTSA - RU/H
WKU - M/L

Good lord. No. We're all referring to the U.S News and World Report academic classifications and rankings. It's been the Bible of academia for several years now, at least as far as public rankings go.
