What are you talking about eating their corn. Do you have an idea why they are "poaching or attracting talent"? 1) their are no conflicts of interest in relation to IP. 2) it's cheaper. Companies that give money for grants are bombarded with overhead costs where a large percentage of funds go nowhere near the intended project the grant was given for.(I forget the name and it varies by school) 3) Kids are payed better( non slave wages) 4) Professors get to work with large amounts of data What usually happens is that do their time,work with the data they always dreamed of, realize what they are doing, are happy or not happy get bored /pissed off,come back and teach. The entire academia system in the United States is so fucked behind belief, I really have no sympathy having been their myself.
