- muuh-gnu 12y agoThey _are_ driven by the money that is necessary to finance academia. They wouldnt be in academia if adacemia had to actually earn the money it needs to exist.
- omg2k 12y agoPeople in academia are absolutely driven by money: they need funding to purchase equipment, hire grad students, and pay their salary. Also, whether or not to grant tenure is judged (in part) by how much grant money an assistant professor has brought into the university.
