Diego Ongaro wrote the Raft paper as his PhD dissertation at Stanford, so this is also false. I’m sure the original claim can be narrowed even further than you just did to make it true; I don’t deny that there is a trend for more research, particularly CS and biotech, to be done privately. It’s hyperbole to claim academia is doing nothing though, even in CS.
