A little salt to rub in the wounds now:

Should researchers in research departments get raises provided for by increased federal funding? Is the answer to deny researchers a pay raise because it would make students "feel bad" as their tuition was hiked due to a lack of state funds?
Does one have anything, at all, to do with the other? |

Research is the natural domain of private corporations. If research departments get funding it will be under the pretext, at least, of advancing the cause of educating people in whatever field is being funded. Sometimes private corporations offer grants to students and this makes them less vulnerable to tuition increases. But of course the students that are the most likely to suffer from tuition increases (if any) are the least likely to be that far in their education. One certainly has something to do with the other, but as it happens, has nothing to do with the people rioting and attacking the chancellor. |
Most Universities have research departments and some of them are very good.
If you are saying that Universities should NOT have research departments because that is not a function of Universities, that's an entirely different subject. The students at the research department are normally graduate students. The particular funding for the research department is not coming from the school or the state system. So an increase in research funding is removed from tuition hikes. |
