[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Universities get tuition which offsets faculty costs. Researchers are funded by so-called "soft money" which means that when it goes away, they can be out of a job.  FFRDCs don't have tuition and can have [b]high costs [/b]related to security requirements, including [b]maintaining facilities [/b]where classified work is done, the security staff to ensure compliance, and special computer systems.

MITRE maintains several really nice office buildings in prime Tysons area, with many empty offices for staff who work offsite or work from home. I haven’t worked there for a few years but  when I did, I had my own office in a SCIF even though I mainly worked at sponsor sites. When I returned to work at my MITRE office for meetings, I’d regularly wander through a mostly  empty building. I didn’t need an office, just an occasional squatting space… Such a waste $$$!

100% that is probably why RAND is (smartly) reducing office space since few are using it regularly![/quote]
