[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If federal funding of research was being used to subsidize all this stuff, doesn’t this just prove that it was being misused? Why not just end the research that was being funded?[/quote] A fair question. I do not know the answer .[/quote] I think the answer is that part of his article is incorrect or misleading. The federal research overhead is subsidizing the nice quad. It is providing research oppryinities for undergrads in labs, and attracting top research talent that is then a resource for students (mostly graduate), which in turn attracts top grad students who help teach undergrad classes more cheaply. Without those grad school TAs teaching undergrad bio and chem sections, the schools need to figure out another solution that probably will pull money from the quad, or raise tuition.[/quote]
