The problem here is obvious... you folks don't understand how the system can work to the advantage of all."

exactly what fields do you think local bidnesses need research?


 


no cheating, dont give me any wurl class companies!


i suggest any research that is needed can be located within 100 miles of h'burg other than usm?


keep in mind only faculty does research/consulting and guess what there are plenty of former faculty members around.

I basically agree with you Gnome Watcher.  Being a liberal arts major myself (many moons ago at a school far, far away), it would be a travesty to abandon or even reduce the emphasis on liberal arts.  I say use the CoST to help fund MORE liberal arts as well as other departments.

Mach, the problem is that contract research does not usually contribute to the "body of knowledge" as you suggest. It contributes to the economic benefit of the contractor and the conractee.

I must say that in my experience the Liberal Arts faculty have a much higher chance of putting you on the map than the Science and Engineering faculty. They can be highly productive, even in the lean times; they may stay in your university against all odds because of such things as friendships; and, of course, they express themselves far better than the rest of us.

Who is the most recognized USM faculty in its history? And I mean nationally known to the person on the street. I know it isn't Shelby Thames.
