[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having Harvard stop doing research is like the Post Office stop doing mail.  It makes no sense and it doesn't help any American ..

Oh wait, they're also trying to do that. [/quote]

Harvard can do research all it wants. It's a free country. Nobody is stopping it.

Harvard is awarded such research dollars because they provide higher ROI than many other R1 institutions. Nobody at USAF gives a flying F about the name brand when they need advanced materials research. They gave it to Harvard (or MIT or wherever) because they know the quality of the product.

Move the money elsewhere and cross your fingers that our top students and researchers will follow it.

Just keep in mind that public funding priorities shift every 2 years or so. Places like Harvard survive for 100+ years because they are not completely beholden to public funding. Many other schools are.[/quote]

The fine researchers will go to where the money is already.  
Just a little shuffling, no big deal.[/quote]

This is where you are really wrong. The researchers will go where their intellectual peers are already.  Eating sandwiches and talking about neutrinos together at lunch. [/quote]
