Snake Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Wish I remember who said I was full of shit when I said universities gave the products the buyer was looking for... i.e. "I can show climate change." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmo Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 My cuz is a professor at Michigan state. He told me there’s all kinds of fuckery involved in getting grant money from the gov’t. It’s the only way he can get funding to keep his laboratory work going. Otherwise all of his teaching is just theory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArcticCrusher Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 They figure if they can get enough in on the circle jerk, it should count as actual science. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just more proof that Americans are way over taxed. This is from the article.......what we expect and deserve is usually the opposite of what really happens Expecting govt. to be efficient and honest? “Taxpayers expect and deserve that federal grant dollars will be used efficiently and honestly. Individuals and institutions that receive research funding from the federal government must be scrupulous in conducting research for the common good and rigorous in rooting out fraud,” said Matthew G.T.

Martin Between State and Fed govt's we spend over $150 billion on higher education. Its fucking insane and they just keep building and building and raising tuition and lining the pockets of the Professors. Lets put that in perspective. Around 19 million undergrad students. That's almost $7900 per student yet the fucking left wants another $90 billion a year. Fucking insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted March 26, 2019 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted March 26, 2019 Not the first time the University got caught doing this. Now they create a bunch of new panels and boards to examine the integrity of the research. Wonder how much more these people will be paid. Universities love the words "values, culture, excellence." BTW I've worked on Dukes University Golf Course. Its fucking sweet. The buildings around it are insane. https://www.wral.com/duke-to-pay-government-112-5m-for-using-fake-data-to-obtain-research-grants/18283160/ Duke has taken the following steps to improve the quality and integrity of research conducted on campus: Appointed an Advisory Panel on Research Integrity and Excellence, chaired by Ann M. Arvin, professor of pediatrics and microbiology and former vice provost and dean of research at Stanford University, and including Edward M. Stolper, William E. Leonhard Professor of Geology and former provost of the California Institute of Technology, and Barry S. Coller, David Rockefeller Professor, physician in chief and vice president for medical affairs at Rockefeller University. The advisory panel will provide recommendations for improving the structure and function of research administration, with a focus on promoting research integrity, by June 30. Established a new, integrated leadership structure for research to provide clear and consistent policy guidance, oversight and accountability for all research at Duke University and Duke Health. Launched an initiative to promote values and a culture of excellence and accountability at Duke. Created an Executive Oversight Committee, chaired by Chancellor for Health Affairs A. Eugene Washington and including senior leadership and faculty, and a related Faculty Advisory Committee to oversee the ongoing implementation of Duke’s research excellence initiative.
