he who pays, owns. If a private fund ‘grants’ a donation to a university, it’s naive to think there are no strings attached.
But, why would any university put itself in a position of dependence this easily?
Have universities always been a business in the United States?
Am I forgetting something?
I think these are very good questions that are difficult to adequately address here, because I think they deserve book-length, historical materialist answers.
Edit: Anyone who thinks grants are innocuous didn’t learn the lessons from Real Genius.
