Welcome to the real world? Everybody has to raise funds, either by being long term valuable to investors or by being valuable now. The fundamental issues in most of public unis (not the UK) is that you can afford to do non profitable endeavours (both on the research and in generating earning potential for the students) while being funded with my taxes. Of course the incentives are not aligned and the system is doomed to failure. I really can't wait for useful universities alternatives made by productive people (some of which are in academia, most of them are in the private sector) and not the old academia dinosaurs.
