This is an argument against public investment in science and a reliance on private donor-based science. Is that really the direction we want for our country and the entities in which we want to entrust the future R&D decisions of our country?
- oh_sigh 8y agoIt sounds more like just an argument for private donor-based science than an argument against public investment.
- tanderson92 8y agoIt is an argument for private donor-based science instead of public investment.
- oh_sigh 8y agoBut OP said that the government could also pony up billions of dollars for the project. The main point seemed to be that universities are wasting their endowment with fancy buildings instead of doing science.
- 3rdAccount 8y agoNew fancy buildings entice more students with heavy student loans to spend.
- davrosthedalek 8y agoNew buildings and the possibility not to penny-pinch every time also makes a much nicer work/study environment.
